macOS

Teams version 1.6.00.19303-E (updated 7/21/2023)

Outlook version 16.75.1 (23071400)

Many users experiencing an issue where Teams will flicker non-stop when joining a meeting from the Outlook calendar if Teams is not already open.

Will have to force quit Teams application, then reopen Teams separately.

Clearing MS Teams cache doesn't fix the issue.

Only work around is to either join directly from Teams calendar, or open Teams first, then join from Outlook calendar.

    Same issue on multiple Macs.

    Even Fresh Install (25 Sept 2023) on brand new Mac today. Same Issue.

    Force Quit.

    On another Mac I tried to open team NOT from a link, then I tried to look at "About" for version number, the screen ping-pong (side-to-side window sliding transition) between two windows until it crashes. Is it trying to go full screen?

    It maybe associated with not being logged in?

    There is a window behind that says loading teams.

    If you manage to get to the sign in screen, mine crashed when I entered username, but when I restarted Team I got the authorise using authenticator dialogue. After I authenticated it seemed to behave better.

    Not had an actual meeting (since) as yet.

    Thanks for the tip for the workaround for the flickering problem by first opening Teams and THEN click the Outlook reminder "Join" meeting button .

    Hopefully this bug is fixed soon by the engineers.

    I am glad it helped you.

    A Microsoft representative has advised that there is a bug open for this and it will be resolved in the October 2023 update that is coming out.

    This issue has been fixed by MS if you are running at least 1.6.00.2215 - 1.6.00.24065. Our ticket with them was escalated to the Product team which we received a request to quit Teams and relaunch then test again. As of yesterday I ran all successful tests on the 4 laptops that were running different Teams version and it was resolved.

    I am not sure what they did to fix it, but I am glad its working for our users now. :)

    I'm running 1.6.00.24065 and it is definitely not fixed for me!
