In some circumstances you might need to use Teams on the web (online) within a supported web browser from the device you want to access information stored and shared within Microsoft Teams. The graphical user interface stays the same as in the Desktop App.
Reasons for not being able to use Teams client software on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android or iOS are:
