Question

RingCentral for Teams Desktop plugin running, but Teams RingCentral embedded application says it's loading

As per title.

I've got the MSI latest version installed, and tried with local administrator credentials on the pc, along with regular user, tried running the teams desktop plugin as admin and teams as regular user (then the reverse of that), tried the latest teams versus teams classic (with same admin/non admin or full admin) and in every scenario, this is what's happening:

  • Teams opened and logged in, click on ringcentral embedded app in teams
  • Manually opened ringcentral for teams desktop plugin, appears to be running
  • Go back to teams and ringcentral embedded app says 'Loading RingCentral desktop plugin...' with no further information

Tried checking logs (windows event viewer, rc logs etc) and not sure what exactly is stopping it.

Were I to guess, something is stopping the embedded app from 'seeing' that the desktop plugin is running, but I don't know how else to get around that (having already disabled antivirus, windows firewall, etc) with it still not working.


Any ideas?

I would Like to report this as well for our org that is also happening. Tried Troubleshooting with re-installing app, and re-installing plugin. Not sure what’s causing it to Idle/sleep or maybe it’s something else.

 

Usually how I notice it is if teams is running on the background then bring to the foreground after x amount of time, it will say plugin is loading. doesn’t usually take long, but sometimes it would just not able to load, so have to quit plugin and re-open. 

 

Other times it will be the “session timeout” tried to do the steps before, but didn’t work until I also quit/close MS Teams and re-open.

 

Hopefully there’s a clear permanent resolution for this.

Thanks for sharing these details. I really appreciate the thorough explanation of what you’ve tried so far. I recommend submitting a support ticket as well to track it properly. Hopefully, we’ll be able to identify a permanent fix soon.

Add me to the list of incredibly frustrated customers with this issue. Annoyingly spent four days with support checking random things on our set up before seeing this thread. At least one of our users is losing her mind!

Obviously their assumption was it was an issue with OUR infrastructure!

The same issue also occurs in our company. Has there already been a solution or any feedback on this?

This may help.

  1. Please review this link below and make sure all the steps are followed and the prerequisites are done. Most customers haven’t configured the Azure side to deploy via the RingCentral admin portal.

    Installing the RingCentral for Teams embedded app using Microsoft Azure or OAuth: https://support.ringcentral.com/article-v2/Using-the-Microsoft-Team-admin-experience.html?brand=RingCentral&product=RingEX&language=en_US
     
  2. You need to also be running the latest plugin. We recommend the auto-update or if you prefer to use a deployment tool, be sure to update quarterly or bi-annual at a minimum. 
     
  3. Be sure to whitelist the plugin with your Antivirus and Desktop firewall. 
     
  4. Another item to check. You also need to be running the latest version of Chome, if it is loaded AND allow third-party cookies
