In reply to beanrod. Unfortunately, the forum ‘improves’ your pasted command line :) Let me try if this can be prevented: ```shell nativefier --name Webex https://web.webex.com/ --internal-urls ".*(okta|cisco|spark|webex).(com|net).*" --single-instance ```

In reply to Joe Garcia. I initially had the same thing. However, it was due to my org's SSO. I used the --internal-urls ".*" option and it worked fine.

nativefier –name ‘Webex’ ‘https://web.webex.com&/#8217; –internal-urls “.*(okta|cisco|spark|webex)\.(com|net).*” –single-instance

I ran the command below:

$ nativefier -n “Webex-Teams” -p linux -a x64 -e 11.0.3 -i Pictures/cisco-webex-teams.png –tray https://teams.webex.com/

Preparing Electron app…

Converting icons…

Packaging… This will take a few seconds, maybe minutes if the requested Electron isn’t cached yet…
Downloading electron-v11.0.3-linux-x64.zip: [====================================================================================================] 100% ETA: 0.0 seconds
Packaging app for platform linux x64 using electron v11.0.3

Finalizing build…
App built to /home/jr/Webex-Teams-linux-x64 , move it wherever it makes sense for you and run the contained executable file (prefixing with ./ if necessary)
Menu/desktop shortcuts are up to you, because Nativefier cannot know where you’re going to move the app. Search for “linux .desktop file” for help, or see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries

This created a valid directory and everything looks good. My problem is I don’t recognize any executable file as the above instructions?

It’s working like a charm.

Pros:
It’s working like native desktop app for availability. Now my avail. status is online while the app is running on the background. Web version doesn’t provide this.

Cons:
I didn’t see yet but not tested so much.

I’m in the same situation, the problem is that the current web version of WebEx Teams does not provide the same features as the Mac and Windows native clients!

You cannot edit your messages, you cannot add or even view reactions and most of the time the chat history goes crazy and you don’t see new messages anymore.

And yes, I know that there is a long running beta version that fixes some of these issues, but the beta version doesn’t allow to make or join audio/video calls! And, in these quarantine days, being able to join call conferences is a must.

Please consider voting on the official Cisco User Community Feedback the entry for a native Linux client:

Hi Jon,
thanks for this awesome solution. Everything perfect except desktop sharing.
No way to get it working.
Did you get same results?

Thank you again
