Other than the seemless interconnectivity of same brand products, there should be no reason why teams performance on mac computers is so sketchy. I think that the issue with mac and microsoft teams needs solving, they are going to have a lot of disgruntled users. Instead we'd get the occasional report from self isolating students. When lesssons were at school (Sep-dec, before this 2nd national lockdown in uk) teachers ran lessons at the classroom and with teams for self isolating students the teachers were using our windows pcs and never reported such issues. With current lockdowns its not possible for them to have access to a different machine. In all of the above issues, the one common denominator is having a mac computer. In some cases we have one teacher being booted out of lessons even when his students are set as participants and he is the only presenter in meeting options.

We have teachers that are meeting organisers/team owners and some notifications dont show such as the raised hand feature on meetings. Some students seem unable to join lesson meetings unless is a very small meeting, anything over around 30 people and they keep being booted out or just cannot join the session. We have issues whereby some students using mac laptops are not able to join teams meetings, we get "response code 847" on the teams admin area, user activity report, for which i cannot find any information for. We are also having multiple users reporting issues with teams, and what we are finding they all have in common is that they all have mac computers. office-teams-windows-itpro office-teams-linux-itpro The error message I get says: Something went wrong - you cant make or get calls right now. Ive tried redownloading the app, updating my computer, restarting my computer, allowing access again to the camera and microphone. (Which is incredibly frustrating because I want to use my laptop to see everyone on the call/share screens/etc). I am now not even able to JOIN a meeting at all using my laptop, but I am able to using my phone. It stopped working and I have not been able to get it to work since.

I went into my laptop settings and allowed the camera permission to use Teams. When I originally downloaded Teams to my laptop, I was able to get on and have meetings but my video wasnt working. I have a Macbook Air and I am trying to use Microsoft Teams to have video meetings. I've basically exhausted all of my options, so hopefully I can find help here.
