Teams and Mac: via Chrome works but App and Safari not working.
When a colleague sends a link I want to open in Teams App but will not.
Safari does not open.
So I copy the link to Chrome and Teams opens fine.

With all this schooling from home, I really hope Microsoft will consider Mac users and get the Teams App working flawlessly. We teachers have enough stress as it is. Thank you for your consideration.

@Vallance Michael ,

What is the version of your safari browser?

I tested in safari version 14.0. When I try to open Teams web client(https://teams.microsoft.com), it shows ”Teams is in preview in Safari” as below. This is because when an unsupported browser version is detected, it will block access to the web interface and recommend that the user download the desktop client.

When I join a Teams meeting by the link in safari, it could join the meeting properly.

In conclusion, it recommends you download Teams desktop client.

@SharonZhao The latest Safari update (v 15.0) is not working with Teams. Any plan to update Teams to work with this version?

@ amym-4773,

It has no such plan for Microsoft Teams now. You could pay attention to Microsoft 365 roadmap. This link lists all related plan for Safari with Microsoft Teams for reference.

I am also frustrated because I like using Safari but when I do try to sign into Teams, I get the following image:

I would not mind as much but it says, "You can use it, but it may impact your experience on other websites," but I do not see how I can go back to the Teams view. I cannot download Teams on this computer. Is it better to just use the Chrome browser since it does allow me to access my Teams?

When I go to the teams website in Safari it seems to be working fine. But then I get redirected to this page saying that it is beta and all. The frustrating thing is that it says "You can use it". While in reality I cannot because this warning page that cannot be dismissed. Downloading the app doesn't really help. Because the app only allows you to be in one teams site / company at a time - the biggest downside of teams compared to Slack.
