Another business opportunity of MS ruined by bad quality software output. Instead they shove this broken thing down our throats and time will come, when people will just run away screaming, just like they did with Skype. What the heck are they doing!? They could have made the business. Surely they cannot be bugfixing all day, if so many bugs remain after years. There are so many issues with Teams, that I am wondering, what they are even working on. Discord and others have had this for years! Only Slack and Teams (in browser) seem to have incapable development teams behind them, who are comfortable with gaslighting unsuspecting users into using Chromium-based browsers, furthering web mono-culture. What a nice way to put it, that after friggin' years, they still have not managed to implement voice chat in a standard conform way. It still gaslights Firefox users and tells them their browser is not supported. Basically every other tool I tried worked better. Teams is the absolute worst I have seen for teams. Sometimes there are issues with reconnecting to the Intel Mac, but it seems to resolve itself if I wait a bit or turn off/on wifi. Universal Control still feels rough around the edges, but it has saved me from ditching my Macbook Air and shelling out for an M1 Macbook Pro. When I have to share my screen or focus on a conversation, I'll fire up one of those 3 apps on my main (M1) Mac and quit it when I'm done. I'll occasionally glance at the dock to see if there are any notification badges, whereas on my main Mac, I'd feel compelled to deal with notifications immediately. It's turned out to be a great way to offload resource hogs and as an added benefit, it minimizes distractions. I dusted off an old Intel Mac (literally) and interact with it using Universal Control.

Of those 3, Slack surprisingly uses the least amount of memory (~700 MB), and Teams uses the most (~1.5 GB). I'll give this a try!įor work, I have to run Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Discord. Teams will now become the default calling app in macOS.Thanks for the tip.Under the 'Settings' tab, look towards the bottom for the drop-down next to 'Default for calls:'.

Once opened, click on FaceTime in the menu bar, then select Preferences.

Go to Macintosh HD -> Applications and open the FaceTime app.

In order to make Teams the default call handler for telephone calls in macOS, follow the instructions below. However, when you click a link to a telephone number online or in an email, FaceTime will open instead of Teams. Under normal circumstances, this setting will work fine as you can manually make and receive calls in Microsoft Teams through the Teams interface.

FaceTime keeps opening when I click a phone number on my Mac.īy default, macOS is configured to use FaceTime to make and receive telephone calls.

When I click a telephone number link on my Mac, FaceTime opens instead of Teams.
