Browser and app not the same

Hello all,

 

I'm following a class and I was invited as a gast. I downloaded the app on my mac and didn't see my team. If i use Chrome (Safari didn't work) then i saw my team. The problem in Chrome is that i only see 1 person and it was a class so i saw that day nobody only an excel sheet. So this really was terrible, it was more a phonecall then a meeting. Is there a solution that i can see my team in the browser as well in the app. Found it really strange that it is different, using the same login.

    The issue you are experiencing where you only saw one person and an excel document doesn't sound like something I have heard before so I urge you to contact support with that issue if it happens again.  you can open a case at answers.microsoft.com and they can assist you with troubleshooting.

     

    That said, there are different ways to view your class - either by using the Microsoft Teams client you download on your computer, via the web app - which sounds like what you were doing, and the mobile app.  I would highly recommend you download the Teams client if you are going to be joining a team or Teams calls, regularly.  Here are instructions for the various clients: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients

     

    There is some limited functionality using the web client with a Mac such a limited video views, etc - that is documented in the link above.  If you can, download the full client and for attending meetings and quick chat functionality, the mobile client is wonderful. Personally, I prefer the desktop client for collaboration and interactive meetings.  I hope that helps!
