teams-token

A super simple Electron app that will save your Microsoft Teams tokens in ~/.config/fossteams/.

Instructions

yarn install
yarn start

Commands

Get your token

yarn start

Switch users

Warning: this operation doesn't delete / invalidate your token, but simply clears the cookies of the Electron browser.

yarn start logout

Get login URL

yarn start get-url

Release

Run a local packaging smoke test before cutting a release:

yarn package --linux dir --publish never

Publish a release tag from a clean worktree:

yarn release v1.0.1

This command bumps the app version, creates a release commit and git tag, and pushes both. GitHub Actions then builds macOS and Linux binaries and uploads them to the matching GitHub Release.

The first release flow ships unsigned macOS artifacts, so Gatekeeper warnings are expected on download or first launch.

Note

Log-in with your Microsoft Teams account (your corprorate / school account) and let this app do the rest. If you don't trust putting your credentials in a random GitHub app, audit the code for yourself: we're basically using Electron to intercept Oauth redirections and storing the tokens on your computer.

The Microsoft Teams authentication flow is described here. We're getting the token that is passed to https://teams.microsoft.com/go.
