Important Tips for Mac Users
  • Permissions:
    After installing, you may need to adjust your Mac's system settings to grant Teams permission to access your microphone, camera, and screen for features like screen sharing.
  • Notifications:
    You can turn on notifications in your Mac's System Preferences under "Notifications & Focus" (or "Notifications") to ensure you don't miss important alerts.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts:
    Use keyboard shortcuts, such as Command + E to open the search bar or Command + Shift + M to mute/unmute your microphone, to save time.
