You may have noticed that when we close the Microsoft Teams application on our Mac, it still stays on the Dock and we still receive calls and messages.
If you want that when the Teams app is closed it should quit, then you can change the following settings to achieve this.
- Open Teams app on your Mac (Macbook)
- Now on the Teams menu go to Teams -> Settings...
- Under Application, uncheck "On close, keep the application running"
- Close Settings.
This is not an AI-generated article but is demonstrated by a human on an M1 Mac running macOS Sonoma 14.0 with Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.24065.
