    The crash is occurring at launch because the Teams process fails a library load constraint for libSlimCoreWebview2.dylib and is terminated by the macOS dynamic loader (DYLD). This is a client launch failure of the Teams app.

    Based on the provided context, the supported remediation steps are:

    1. Verify OS compatibility
      • Ensure the Mac is running a supported macOS version for the new Teams client. If the OS is not supported, update macOS to a supported version and then reinstall Teams.
      • Unsupported OS versions are a known cause of Teams launch failures.
    2. Fully remove and reinstall the Teams client
      • Quit Teams if it is running.
      • Move the Microsoft Teams app from /Applications to the Trash.
      • Remove Teams-related data containers (similar to the pattern used for Office and Teams on macOS in the context):
        • ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.teams
        • ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.teams2
      • Empty the Trash.
      • Download and reinstall the latest Microsoft Teams for macOS, then try launching again.
    3. Check for antivirus/DLP interference with WebView2
      • Teams relies on Edge WebView2 components; third‑party antivirus or DLP tools can block or tamper with these, causing client crashes or launch failures.
      • Ensure any non‑Microsoft antivirus/DLP products are configured to allow:
        • The Teams desktop client process.
        • The executable that starts Teams.
        • Microsoft Edge WebView2 processes and related libraries.
      • If such tools inject DLLs or otherwise constrain library loading, adjust their configuration per vendor guidance so they do not interfere with Teams/WebView2.
    4. If the issue persists
      • After confirming OS support, performing a full removal/reinstall, and ensuring security tools are not blocking Teams/WebView2, collect the crash details and contact Microsoft Support for deeper analysis of the code-signing/library-load constraint failure.
