I am trying to load the Teams app on my Mac and it just hangs with a box saying 'loading Microsoft Teams' after I have hit the 'sign in' box. I can sign in on the web version, but the app won't load. Can you help? Thank you

    Thanks Ashton, I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, and still the same issue! it just hangs with a box saying 'Microsoft Teams loading' - I'm wondering if it's something in my Mac settings preventing it from loading, or a glitch in Teams not letting it load fully...??

    Hi Suzanne,

    I am an independent advisor and a Mac user like you, and I would be happy to help you out with this.

    I would recommend to try uninstalling the Teams app, and then re-installing it.

    First, Quit Teams by right-clicking the Teams app in the dock, then holding down Option and clicking Force Quit. Open the Application Folder, select Microsoft Teams, and move it to the Trash.

    Source: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/uninst...

    Second, re-download the Teams app here:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/m...

    Then, follow the installer instructions and this will install the latest version.

    Hopefully now when you log in, it will get past the "Loading Microsoft Teams" box and load the full application for you.

    I hope this has helped you. If the problem continues, please reply and let us know and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!

    Regards,

    -Ashton
