I'm writing autotests using MS Teams desktop client. Connecting by Selenium webdriver.
To use Webdriver, I need to know WebView version used in my local Teams client.
Is there a way to know that version from registry or some local files?
Maybe there is an updated online source to know WebView version by Teams version?
Currently, I'm running webdriver with whatever version, getting an error message with needed version, and then running again with the correct version.

Hi @Vladislav Velichko According to the Microsoft support document, the new Teams client uses the Evergreen version of Microsoft Edge WebView2 to ensure Teams client is always up to date with the latest fixes and improvements available in Microsoft Edge and Chromium. If you want to check the WebView2 Runtime version, you can find it under Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features. For more details, you may refer to the article. Hope the above information is helpful for you!

Hi Ran, thank you for reply.
What if I have other apps using WebView2?
Will I have several WebView2 versions for each app (like C++ redist)?
As a temporary solution will use folder name from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application
Hi @Vladislav Velichko WebView2 supports two runtime versions: Evergreen and Fixed Version. The Evergreen WebView2 Runtime is automatically updated on the user machine to the latest version. The Fixed Version WebView2 Runtime allows you to package a specific version of the WebView2 Runtime with your application. If you have multiple applications that use WebView2, you can choose which runtime version to use for each application. If you use the Evergreen Runtime, you will have only one version of the WebView2 Runtime on your machine, which will be shared by all the applications that use it. If you use the Fixed Version Runtime, you will have a separate version of the WebView2 Runtime for each application that uses it.

Hi Ran
Yes, there is progress on this issue. Sorry, but your reply wasn't helpful because it explained that the version is automatically updated, but I was never asking that. The question I was interested in is in the title!
