Teams Won't Load

I cannot tell you how frustrated I am!!!

My Teams stopped loading - either my own account or using a link from another person.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but I just get a blue spinning wheel on the sign in page.

I tried the virtual assistant - who put in to chat with a person - who could only deal with "basic queries" - so they gave me a link to phone numbers WHICH took me back to the virtual assistant!!!

I am so fed up - can't believe that they are calling this a service.

Really hoping someone can help please.

  • Hi, sorry to hear that. Business or Teams free account? You can always use teams on the web https://teams.microsoft.com

    As for the issue. Quit Teams (right click on the taskbar icon) and try resetting the desktop app by copy this: %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams and paste it via Start and hit enter. Delete all content in the location and start Teams again.

        have to delete the folder every time before launching teams, especially after each computer rebooting.
      • Not sure what you mean, good to hear but I don't work for Microsoft if that's what you mean 🙂

    same issue.
    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\teams deletion, restart, re-install did not help.

    Delete Teams Cache. If Microsoft Teams won't open properly on your PC it could be that one of the cache or temp files is corrupted. This is an easy fix. All you have to do is delete Cache and temporary files.
