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.

    I was able to fix this issue by right-clicking Teams in the taskbar, 'Quit' Teams, and then re-open Teams. Then when joining a meeting it opened correctly from the Mac Teams app again. I suspect fully rebooting your Mac should also do the trick. Hope this helps.

    Same here. I click on a link to a Teams meeting and it askes to open an app but the only think it wants is a windows app. SO then it launches my VMware. But my Teams is not installed there.

    I copy the link from Outlook in to a Teams chat window, then click on the link. Lame, but it works.

    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.
