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.

    Hi I was having the same issue with my Mac mini but I realized that safari and teams doesn't work well together. I did the same steps, redownloading the app and even trying the browser version on Chrome and everything worked out. I can now use the app and the browser version works through Chrome.

    This response is not helpful at all. It sounds like you are not experiencing the same problem we are.

    Well dude it worked. I had to reloginto my account. The password had changed and it kept trying to use my old password and it would hang it up. So the steps I posted before fixed my problem. I am able to use trams again and I have been using it for a month or so sense I posted the steps. 

    If your password changed at all it might have hung it up logging into teams like mine did.
