Steps to fix errors when using Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a platform that provides very popular and useful online services such as chat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration. You can install Microsoft Teams and experience the test application!

1. Can't sign in to Microsoft Teams

The first and perhaps the most common error that users often encounter is the error of not being able to log into a Microsoft Teams account. You try to log in many times but the application still gives an error.

First, you should double-check that the  email address  and password are entered correctly. If it still does not work, please check if the network connection is stable or not because a weak network can also be the reason why you cannot access the application.

2. Can't turn on camera, microphone in Microsoft Teams

Some important meetings require you to turn on the camera and microphone to join, but you still can't open these 2 functions. This confuses you and also affects the work progress of the people in the meeting. For this case, make sure that you have given Teams permission to connect the camera and microphone.

3. Cannot access OneNote

The number of folders exceeding 5000 is the cause of your inability to access Microsoft Teams OneNote notebooks. You should remove the unimportant items and make sure the number is less than 5000.

4. Can't chat in Microsoft Teams

If you don't receive the latest message from your partner, or you can't send messages on Teams, try restarting the app.

If the Microsoft Teams error persists, try restarting the computer to fix the error.

5. Unable to create a team in Microsoft Teams

If you want to create a new group in Microsoft Teams to facilitate the delivery of important plans and announcements to many members, but when you create a new group, Teams gives an error that cannot be done.

Please check if you are blocked or your account is in the Guest User role. Alternatively, you can contact your team manager for assistance.

6. Teams not showing notifications

The tutorial was done on a MacBook Pro 2020 (macOS 11.2.3). With  MacBooks  running other versions of  macOS  , or Windows laptops, you can do the same. However, the interface will be slightly different.

Sometimes you miss an important exam or meeting just because the app doesn't notify your device. Chances are some permissions have been changed. Please check the following instructions:

Step 1: Access Microsoft Teams on your  computer , click the three dots button to the left of the avatar.
