Hi,
so I downloaded and installed the MS Teams app today (24.2.2021) and it went well. But after the instalation was done and I tried to open the Teams app, it showed me only the small window saying: "Loading Microsoft Teams..." It was like this for about two hours when I realized its not probably gonna work. It doesnt show me the sign in window or anything like that.
I tried re-installing and also deleting and installing again, but nothing worked.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.

Hi, thanks for sharing those links. On one of them I found that people are having the same problem, but there was no answer or reply with tips/ instructions on how to fix it.
So I found out that people have the same problem, but I havent found any solution to it.
Anyhow, thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.

The answer is simple: Teams is a piece of s..t. It is just unusable on MacOS. MS makes me angry whenever I try to use any MS products.

@amandasheedy I have the exact same issue - been using it for >1 year and stuck loading. I have tried every solution out there to no avail.

These instructions on howtoisolve dot com solved the problem for me:
Remove the cache associated with the Teams App. The system and app-generated cache files make the operation smoother and faster. However, not all the time, cache benefits the system and could create issues while using it.
Finder stores all the cache files and folders of applications installed in Mac. We’ll remove the cache from the Finder and restart the Mac.
1. Open Finder.
2. Click on Go > Go to Folder.
3. Type ~/Library/Caches and hit Return key.
4. Locate and remove com.microsoft.teams folder.
5. Likewise, navigate to the ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams and delete the following folders:
* Application Cache/Cache
* blob_storage
* Cache
* databases
* GPUCache
* IndexedDB
* Local Storage
* tmp
Took a while before Teams started up after that, but at least it did…

I followed your suggestion to the letter, but still had no success. I also seem to have another problem: I seem to be automatically registered to a University site, and cannot delete it, nor modify it. It's also iPhone size screen, without any possibility of getting it computer screen-sized. Any suggestions how to get around the problems?

@jamesvdh Teams had worked fine on Mac. All of a sudden it stopped working. Your steps worked great. Thanks.

@dominikagrg Personally the only thing that worked for me was:
- Uninstalling Teams
- Deleting Microsoft Teams from the Library
- delete com.microsoft.teams from the Caches
And then reinstall!

You are right @FenyFarago
this morning I had a job interview set up and I did download the app last night. everything worked perfectly fine but this morning when the real time came, I never was able to log in. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but still it never worked. I was so **bleep** angry with this piece of sxxx app.
oh well. just wanted to share my frustration.
