2. Allow the app through firewall and antivirus software

Depending on the specific antivirus software you’re using on your PC, these steps will vary.

You will need to open up your antivirus software, navigate to the whitelist, and make sure Microsoft Teams is allowed connections.

If your antivirus contains a firewall service as well, please make sure to allow all permissions for the MS Teams app.
