Teams app not working on a profile in MacBook Pro

I’ve been working with the Microsoft support team as I cannot access all my different teams accounts via the new teams app on my MacBook Pro. I can on my iMac so not an Organizational issue. I work as an associate for different companies and need to switch between them. The Microsoft team asked me to create another profile on my MacBook Pro to see if it would work then and it does. How can I get it to work on the original profile? We have cleared caches, etc but still not working.

thanks

You will need to search inside of the "~/Library" folder for "teams". There are multiple hits on my system. I have no idea which ones to delete. You just need to figure out what differs between the main macOS user account and the new macOS user account since one works & the other does not. Theoretically deleting the various Teams folders and any remaining .plist files with Teams in the name located in your home Library folder "~/Library" should do the trick. Hopefully the Teams app will restore the deleted folders with new default ones. There is even a chance you may have a login item configured for your main user account, but not in the new macOS user account (doesn't have to be Teams related).


Here is a couple of articles I found online that discuss reseting Teams on macOS:

If Teams is required by your employer, then you can try contacting your employer's IT support staff for assistance. It is possible they may be able to open a case with Microsoft in order to get to a higher level tier of support.

Sounds like you would need to delete the Teams .plist preference files located somewhere in your main home user folder's hidden Library folder "~/Library". I don't know which Teams preference files to delete or exactly where they would be located although I would first check the Preferences folder, then in the "Application Support" folder (all within hidden ~/Libary folder within your home user folder).


Just make sure Teams is not running when you delete those .plist preference files. You may need to log out afterwards & log back in so that you can be sure you have been disconnected from those old preference files.
