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.

    Hi, 

    This is the link for the 'for work' option which worked for me.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app?lc=1033 

    Make sure you scroll down and click the button underneath the apple logo:

    If you want to view the other options (for home, for education), you would have to click the solutions tab at the top of the page:

    Hopefully this works!

    Hi all,

    I have tried everything you suggest and it has not worked for me. However, I have finally found the solution for me. I have had to uncheck the proxy settings. System preferences > Net > Wifi > Advanced > Proxy > unckeck automatic proxy detection.

    Hope this will help some of you.

    Thanks,

    Ester.

    SOLVED

    If you are getting the constant crashes and restart loops of the Teams app once you’ve logged in with MacOS Big Sur and the blank window after 4-5 seconds,

    I can confirm that Joe.Price308ad's answer on Page 2 of this forum WORKED.

    n fact, I just purchased a Macbook Pro 2020 with Big Sur (Fresh installation) and the symptoms were the same as described here. After having tried everything from clearing the cache to uninstalling and combination of the 2 above, I finally tried the following and it worked!

    Here is the excerpt with the added step you would need to do to make it work.

    1. Close Microsoft Teams (or Force Quit (Option + Right-Click or Option +Contextual Menu) if it is in a constant restarting loop)

    On your Mac OS, under the Apple logo, go to:

    • System Preferences>Security & Privacy
    • Click on the Privacy Tab
    • On the left scroll bar find and click on Accessibility
    • You will need to click on the padlock and enter your admin credentials
    • Make sure Microsoft Teams is there and checked
    • IF MICROSOFT TEAMS is not in there, Add it by clicking on the + button, navigate to your Applications folder (go all the way back and you will see your Applications folder, then Select Microsoft Teams).
    • It should now be added to the list and should be Checked.
    • Close the System Preferences window.
    • Restart Microsoft Teams

    Thanks Joe and Good Luck All!
