Opening Teams app using link on a Mac

Hi,

When I get a link in an e-mail on my Mac (using outlook as e-mail client), neither Safari nor Chrome recognize that I have the desktop app installed and I can only view using the web app.  Any ideas on how to solve this?  My IT department is no help on this.  I have reinstalled Teams multiple times, rebooted, etc.

    This is ridiculous. This is causing work disruption in our company because I can't open Teams links.

    **** MICROSOFT?

    I have exactly this problem - it is beyond frustrating. It needs to be fixed - common Microsoft.

    Same issue here.

    I use Ical. The meeting link takes me to Safari as standard, but switching to Chrome or Firefox doesn't help. I have already installed the Teams App (So why on earth doesn't the link open the app directly? This is the only reasonable way to go about this is it not, now in 2021?) but yes the link takes me to a web browser. The web browser gives me this message:

    The other thing I was wondering. When I open the Teams app, I would imagine that there are a couple of starting points for using the application: 1.Start a meeting, 2. Schedule a meeting 3. JOIN A MEETING (with link/group/invite or anything useful really)?? Where is my option to join with link?

    Every meeting I have to ask the host to send me a new link to zoom og google which has made a user interface that actually works effortless. Teams reminds me every time why I switched from PC to MAC 10 years ago.....

    Same issue.  Anyone know of a fix or even a workaround?  I need to be able to access Teams sites referenced in links in Outlook emails via the Teams app not a web browser.
