How To Use Microsoft Teams On A Mac

Introduction

I got my Mac last year for online classes. Our online classes were being conducted on Microsoft Teams, I knew that I could go to teams.com and take my classes, but it didn’t work when I tried. For the next 2-3 days, I continued taking my classes on my phone since I already had the Teams app installed.

Then I found out why it didn’t work, and how to make it work so that I could take my classes on my Mac.

So how can you use Microsoft Teams on a Mac? You can either install the Teams app itself or you can also use Chrome or Microsoft Edge to do so.

In the rest of this article, I’ll share with you in detail how you can install Microsoft Teams on your Mac or how to use it in your browser. Follow along to do it easily, and if you get confused at any step, feel free to comment down below and I’ll tell you how to get past it.

Step 1: Open Safari and go to this link, or simply search for ‘download chrome’ and go to the first link.

Step 2: Click on Download Chrome.

Step 3: Check the download progress in the right top corner.

Step 4: After it’s downloaded, click on the installer to launch it.

Step 5: Click and drag the Chrome icon to ‘Applications’

Step 6: Wait until the installation is complete.

Step 7: Now, open Chrome and go to teams.com.
