SIP mimetype handling

Open 3vi1 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

With o365 and the MS Teams client on Windows, you can:

  • Click a user name from a mail message
  • Select the 'chat' baloon
  • Choose to handle message with Teams via MS's Pick an App dialog.
  • Teams then opens a chat with the specified person.

I tried to recreate this behavior on Linux by adding MimeType=x-scheme-handler/sip to the .desktop and registering it via update-desktop-database. This successfully starts teams-for-linux when I click the chat baloon. However, it does not parse the parameters and open a chat with the specified person.

This behavior will become more important to people now that MS is ditching the integrated Skype in the new Outlook interface.
