Microsoft Teams "to re-enable the application the tab needs to be refreshed"

Using Teams in Safari on a iMac and a Macbook Air. When I want to open the web version, a notification appears that says:


"to re-enable the application the tab needs to be refreshed" and a button "I'm back"


Clicking "I'm back" or refreshing the page doesn't do anything.


In Google Chrome however, the Teams web app works like a charm, so it seems to be a problem in Safari.


Anyone? I hate Google Chrome.



iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

For some reason Microsoft Teams requires third party cookies to be enabled. So to fix this issue you have to change a setting in Safari Preferences -> Privacy. Uncheck the option next to "Prevent cross-site tracking". After doing this you will be able to load teams in Safari browser.


I wish there was a way to allow this for only certain websites but it appears it's an all or nothing setting.
