Teams is not opening on macbook

Hello,

I have a user that uses a MacBook pro with Catalina on it. Recently teams have not been wanting to work on this user's computer. There were times where it was opened, but then froze and bogged down the performance of the MacBook. Sometimes it wouldn't open when the user would log into their computer for the day. It would just bounce and never open or give out an error. 

We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program to his computer but now it just bounces like it is opening but then never does open. I have looked at other solutions like deleting the ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.teams  and teams folder but again the same issue. 

This MacBook is about 1 month old and has the current update and the rest of the Microsoft office programs work fine on there. The user is currently using the web version of the teams to get by for now.  Wondering if there is anything we can try to get this working again. 
Thank you

Ok guys I am running Big Sur. What I had to do was as follow

  1. Open up you calendar and find a teams meeting.
  2. Once you click on the meeting like your going to join. It will pop up a message asking if you want to use the desktop app.
  3. It will then ask you to login and once you do that it works.

    How is this still an issue a year after the original post? It just started to happen with the latest version of Teams on the latest MacOS.

    I've been having this problem off and on for over a year.

    That's because MS is terrible! I hate that I'm forced to use their terrible software!

    This happens to me once a week and I found that running this in the terminal fixes it:

    pkill -f 'Teams.app'

    I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions but I am still unable to open Microsoft TEAMS on Chrome and safari. I have a MAC with the latest updates.

    Please help!
