If you're having issues affecting the Microsoft Teams app, clearing the cache on your device can help. After you've cleared your cache, restart Teams.



Notes :
  • You will not lose any user data by clearing the cache.
  • Restarting Teams after you've cleared the cache may take longer than usual because the Teams cache file needs to be regenerated.
