Fixing “Failed to connect to settings endpoint” Error in Microsoft Teams App on the Mac
Filed Under Computers & Tech on October 15, 2020 | Leave a Comment
As of October 2020, if you go to Microsoft’s site and download the very latest version of Teams and install it on a brand new Mac running the very latest version of macOS with all patches applied and all the default settings set, the Teams app will fail to log you in because it thinks it can’t see the internet. You’ll get a cryptic error that includes the phrase “Failed to connect to settings endpoint”.
The fix for this is really simple, but it took me for ever to find, so I figured I’d share it with the world and perhaps save other some stress ?
