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 good to know but how do you get the agenda to open a Teams invitation using Chrome rather than Safari?

    Not if a user doesn't have Chrome installed. Safari is the Mac browser. This concept of 'Try another browser' is never a solution for a user, it's a goal for the developer.

    I can't get many Mac users to install Chrome as an MSP, and that's their choice.

    Sorry stupid question, that's done by making Chrome the default browser of course. This is actually a very nice workaround as you do get the added functionality again. Thanks!

    That's funny because I have Firefox as my primary default browser but switch between that and Chrome and Safari depending on what I'm doing. I'm in website development so I have to make sure things work in all browsers. It's our Windows folks that have a hard time getting away from Edge.. although many use Chrome now.

    Yep, for a web developer, that makes sense. I'm referring to standard users trying to perform their business functions, though, and the links not working in every browser, likely due to third-party cookies blocking I'm guessing? Which means it's a problem in how the links are presented to the user and needs to be fixed so it works universally.
