Hi Everyone,
Is there a compatability issue using Microsoft Teams on Apple devices? I can't seem to join Teams meetings when sent and invitation on my home device (MacBook). I've also noticed you can no longer download the App from the store. So frustrating at times like these when you need to rely on video conferencing platforms. Can anyone clarify? Thank you.
MacBook, macOS 10.14

No compatibility issues that I’m aware of, I use Teams for video and audio calls in my Mac.
But, do note that Teams is not included in the Personal/Home/Family levels of Microsoft 365 or Office – you need a Business/Enterprise subscription for Teams.
Thank you. Yes, I’m aware of its application as an enterprise device. And I’ve used it within an organisation. It’s just ‘clumsy’ that it give you an option to register for teams to connect friends and family yet only works on iPhone and iPad... and even then just to receive VC. As a private user, it’s frustrating to use when engaging with an enterprise that utilises Teams as its VC platform - I literally have to move from one piece of hardware (MacBook) to another (iPhone or iPad). Thanks for kindly responding👍
Clunky it may be, but it’s a Microsoft issue – they set the policy that Teams is for business use, not for friends and family. If an enterprise you work with/for is needs you to participate in a videoconference on Teams, it is the responsibility of the enterprise to ensure you have access to Teams, and you should ask them for an account. For example, when I hire a consultant they are given a corporate email account which includes access to Teams.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try it and get back. Weird - Teams appears on App Store via iPhone and iPad but not MacBook.
iDevice apps have never worked on Macs. You need the correct version to run on MacOS.
Sure. I wonder why they give ‘friends/family’ as an option when inviting you to join Teams? Misleading.
Thank you for companioning me in this. Really appreciated.
Thank you.
Microsoft Teams
