Opening Teams app using link on a Mac

Anonymous

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.

Same (very similar?) issue here: All my Teams links in Outlook open in my web browser (Google Chrome) instead of opening Teams directly, with that same request for me to "download and install Teams" or "Already have the Teams app? Launch it now".

If all other apps know how to talk to each other directly, why can't Outlook at Teams?

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.

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

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.
