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.

    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.

    I have just figured out that if you have Teams open when the user clicks the meeting link, Teams will not flicker. If Teams is not running when the meeting is launched, then the flickering occurs.

    The issue only started for these users when they upgraded to macOS Ventura 13.5.2

    Currently opening a ticket with Microsoft now but I am guessing it will be a lost cause.

    I hope this helps someone else to find a workaround!

    Seeing this serious launch issue with 1.6.00.22155 on MacOS 13.5.2 (22G91). This is a new problem with a recent update.
