How can I use a Teams Community Chat on Mac?

Question

I created a Community on Teams iOS. When I log into Teams on my Mac desktop, there are no group chat features or options.

Answer 1

There is no MS Teams app in the app store for Mac though, only iOS. This is completely wrong.

Answer 2

If you created a community in Teams on your iOS device and can't see it on your Mac desktop, it's possible that you might not be signed in with the same account on both devices or that the Teams app on your Mac is not updated to the latest version.

Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check that you're signed in with the same account on both devices. Open the Teams app on both devices and verify that you're signed in with the same Microsoft account. You can check this by clicking on your profile picture in the app and selecting "Switch account" or "Sign out."
2. Make sure the Teams app on your Mac is up-to-date. Open the App Store on your Mac and check for any available updates for Teams.
3. Try to access the community from your Mac desktop by searching for it. In Teams on your Mac, click on the search bar at the top of the app and type in the name of the community. If the community was created with the same account and is accessible from the Mac desktop, it should appear in the search results.

If none of these solutions work, you can try logging out and back in again or uninstalling and reinstalling the Teams app on your Mac. If you're still having issues, you might want to reach out to Microsoft support for further assistance.

Answer 3

According to a footnote on the official Microsoft Teams Communities webpage, Communities is currently only supported for iOS and Android, and "coming soon to desktop".
