Teams for Mac Opens to Viva Connections

This started happening Monday to both Windows and Mac in which, every time a user completely quits and re-opens Teams client, it defaults to Viva Connections and our SharePoint page. This isn't a big deal but now for Mac clients, anytime we close, not completely quit, it defaults back to Viva Connections. Minimizing doesn't do it but if clicking the red x to close it to the background does this.

 

Tested on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) 

Teams for Mac Version 24180.207.2997.1350 (24180.207.2997.1350)

    It seems you're experiencing an unexpected behavior with the Microsoft Teams for Mac client where it consistently defaults to Viva Connections upon reopening, even after minimizing the app. This behavior is inconsistent with the expected behavior and is likely a bug.

     

    Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve this issue:

    1. Check for Updates:

      • Ensure that both your macOS and the Microsoft Teams app are up-to-date. Outdated software can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.

    2. Clear Teams Cache:

      • Clearing the Teams app cache can sometimes resolve unexpected behaviors. Refer to Microsoft's documentation on how to clear the cache for the Teams app on Mac.

    3. Reinstall Teams:

      • As a last resort, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Microsoft Teams app. This can help resolve issues related to corrupted installation files.

    4. Test with a Different User Account:

      • Create a new user account on your Mac and log in to Teams. If the issue persists, it's likely a system-wide problem rather than a user-specific issue.

    5. Check for Third-Party Interference:

      • If you have any third-party apps or extensions that interact with Teams, temporarily disable them to see if they're causing the issue.

    If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's important to report it to Microsoft support so they can investigate and fix the bug if possible. You can provide feedback directly through the Teams app or visit the Microsoft Teams support website to report the issue.

    Provide detailed information about the issue, including:

    • Your macOS version
    • The Teams app version
    • Steps to reproduce the issue
    • Any error messages or unusual behavior you've observed

    By following these steps and providing detailed information to Microsoft, you can help them address the issue and improve the Teams experience for all users.
