Microsoft Teams not working in the firefox mobile browser

I recently had a job interview held via Microsoft Teams. 

I'm a primary Firefox user and ditched the Chromium browsers. 

So I tap the link in my email to join the conversation. I log in. And next Microsoft Teams tells me that Firefox isn't supported to use Microsoft Teams with. 

So after a while. The interviewers canceled the interview and I lost out on the position. 

If it didn't include high stakes I would've waved it away. But I lost access to a potential new job because of this. 

Can someone give me insight on any developments or potential fixes to prevent losing interviews in the future?

Kind regards.

Microsoft Teams often doesn’t work properly in the Firefox mobile browser because the Teams web app isn’t fully supported there yet. Many users report that clicking a “Join meeting” link in Firefox for Android doesn’t open the Teams app or the meeting, while it works normally in Chrome or Edge this is due to lack of official support rather than a simple bug.

@DryNikoBellic  : sorry to hear you lost out on a potential job 😭

I'd suggest you go into each of the browsers on your phone (e.g. Brave, Edge, Opera, Safari, Vivaldi) and then visit https://devicetest.teams.microsoft.com , which lets you do a free test meeting.  Check and see which are supported before your next meeting.

Then when you next get sent a link, hold-down on it in the e-mail or IM they send it you in, and look for "copy link" or similar.  Then be sure to open a browser the test meeting worked in, and paste it into its URL bar.

I've visited that URL in Firefox on both my Windows laptop and Android phone, and seems Firefox is not supported by Teams on either.  So you'll need to use a different browser in future for this.
