Microsoft Teams flashing and not opening Correctly - MacOS

Created by Support Desk, Modified on Fri, 6 Oct, 2023 at 9:31 AM by Support Desk


This seems to be occurring when joining a meeting from a Microsoft Outlook event reminder. It is a known issue and unfortunately there has not been an update from Microsoft on when the issue will be resolve. However there are a few minor steps that can be taken to allow the application to open properly.


  1. Right click on the Teams application located on the dock and select quit. Give the MacOS a few moments to terminate the program.
  2. Spotlight search for Teams (command+spacebar) or select teams from your apps shortcut on the dock itself, and reopen.
  3. Join the meeting.


An update will be provided once Microsoft determines the cause and provides resolution. 

We apologize for any inconvenience these steps may cause.
