Sometimes, Teams windows just disappear on Mac (Monterey)
Hi, Sometimes, when using Teams on a Mac, the windows of the application just disappear. It seems like they can't be brought to the foreground by any of the Teams menu (i.e. Bring All to Front)....
I am following up wrt this issue. I still intermittently experience this issue on Apple Silicon on Monterey w/Teams 1.5.00.33356. I will provide the Diagnostic logs as requested. I believe the trigger might in fact have something to do with Command+Tab vs Alt+Tab, as some of the other posters suggested.
I frequently have this issue also. It seems to occur most often when i've left the computer for a while and come back to resume my work. I always have to quit and re-open teams to get the window to come back.
Mac OS: 13.3.1 (22E261) (apple silicon)
Teams: 1.6.00.11156
orwollb since I switched from Intel to M1, Teams runs much more reliable
I'm running on apple silicon (M2 chip). Hasn't really changed the behavior for me.
I also wonder: when you close the teams window (clicking the red button in the upper left corner) - the teams application remains open but there is nothing that you can do. I have found no menu option to re-open the main teams window and this is another easily reproducible way to get to the situation where the teams window is unavailable and you must quit and re-open teams to get back to it.
- Yes, it's still sometimes restarting in weird way, but it has improved slightly.
Microsoft will soon bring an update to Teams, which is currently available in some preview.
Teams is really the last innovative product of Microsoft, while Excel and Word are dead-end 🙂
