Teams not working on MacOS Big Sur

Hi all, 

I recently installer MacOS Big Sur in my Macbook Pro from scratch (not upgrading from previous installation). Once the system was working, I installed the Office 365 suite from App Store and MS Teams from microsoft.com (Teams does not exists in the App Store). All software is working properly EXCEPT Teams. After installation and launch, I keeps freezed in the "Loading Microsoft Teams" view.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the package several times, restarted the machine, etc, but it still does not work.

Are there any procedures or fixed I should perform? Does Teams actually works on Big Sur?

Thanks.

    Dear all,

    I just noticed that only the initial startup of a fresh installed version 408872 does fail because it cannot successfully finish the initial setup process.

    Do the following:

    1. install a previous version of Microsoft Teams -I did it with version 333671-
    2. login to your Microsoft Teams account
    3. update to current version

    Now the current version 408872 will work for you on Big Sur 11.3.1

    Bye

    René

    I have Big Sur and M1 chip, Teams wouldn't install just kept loading. I tried all suggestions (I had no Teams folder in library) with no success.

    I got it working by logging in the Teams web plateform and inviting myself to a meeting. The app worked after that.

    Good luck!

    I can also confirm that this worked for me 🙂

    The method that worked for me was to have a colleague create a meeting link that I clicked on while signed in to Teams on the web browser, and then opting to join that meeting from the local application, and allowing everything it asked for.
