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 don't restrict using Chrome but I don't suggest to my users that they use it. Safari is better. Period. Chrome will never be my default browser.
I won’t turn that off and I won’t advise my clients to do it either. We need the meetings to open in Teams from the Teams app and NOT open any browser. It should work the way I described how it works on my Mac.
agree - just letting you know of a workaround I've found - you can also make your default browser Chrome because it doesn't prevent cross site tracking anyway ;) Also,, when you do open the web version of Teams in Safari, it says it's beta.
Don't hold your breath waiting on a response. Microsoft always gives the short end of the stick to Apple users. If you call their support you'll get an untrained moron who doesn't know a thing about the Mac version of their apps. Even though this is pro level software, it's treated like it's freeware that doesn't deserve support.
This is ridiculous. This is causing work disruption in our company because I can't open Teams links.
**** MICROSOFT?
