EddyBoite 0 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hello, I use MS Teams for videoconferences, phone call ... Since few weeks, I have issues. Indeed, I am not able to join conference call/online meeting if ESET is installed. The call start, people can listen to me and then after 10-15 seconds, Teams close the call saying "Sorry, we're unable to connect you". If I close ESET, issue still there. If I uninstall ESET, issues disappear. How can I solve this issue ? Kind regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,273 Posted April 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2020 Please make sure that you don't have other than 80 or 8080 ports listed among HTTP ports (in particular, 443 must not be there). If that's not the case, please collect logs as per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3404-use-eset-logcollector-on-macos-and-send-the-logs-to-eset-technical-support and raise a support ticket with your local ESET distributor.

seb38300 0 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Hello, I have the same problem, several employees complain, they can no longer join team meetings (same problem mentioned above). At the beginning I thought it was from Microsoft because the simple calls work very well and on the same mac with the antivirus, the meetings work very well with the web version of Microsoft Teams. As a result, I do not know if it is ESET (ESET Endpoint Security )the problem but in doubt and having seen the question, if you find a solution I'm interested. Ports 80 and 443 are well open on my side. in HTTP protocol checking i have 80,8080,3128 Mac Os version : 10.15.4 Version Teams : 1.3.00.8663 Version ESET Endpoint Security: 6.8.400.0 Thank you for your help, Edited April 30, 2020 by seb38300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tboehm 1 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Same to me since a couple of days. 1:1 calls work fine. Meetings and Conferences not. By deactivating the ESET firewall, everything works normal. macOS 10.15.4 with Microsoft Teams 1.3.00.9271 an ESET Endpoint Security 6.8.400.0 seb38300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,748 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Based on this article: http://techgenix.com/microsoft-teams-data/ which states Teams data "is stored all over your HDD space," it appears to me that Teams can interface at will with all MS Office apps. It will be interesting to see how this situation "plays out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,748 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) According to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges#skype-for-business-online-and-microsoft-teams , Teams is using a whole lot of other ports beside 80, 443, and 3128 depending on how its interfacing is configured. Namely: 11 Optimize Required Yes 13.107.64.0/18, 52.112.0.0/14, 52.120.0.0/14 UDP: 3478, 3479, 3480, 3481 Edited May 7, 2020 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyll.cavalcante 0 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Finally found a topic talking about this... Since last week with that same problem. Could never imagine that could be ESET, deactivated firewall and it worked. Any news about this issue? Edit: Maybe it has a link to the Mac OS version... The issue is happening to me on Catalina, but i have another Mac (2011 can't remember mac os version now) with cyber security pro too and everything works fine. Edit2: Forget about it... maybe it wasn't updated yet... Same problem in my mac 2011 Sierra Edited May 18, 2020 by wyll.cavalcante Mac OS Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpoonis 7 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) As a matter of interest, internally ESET is not having any problems with either ESET firewall or Microsoft teams so there must exist a setup which will happily work.

Just a little boring the permission/deny dialog boxes but if you trust the app/connection mark the check to remember and create rule. Teams working fine now.

Mitchell 13 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Seems that creating the following rule is sufficient: Name: Allow Teams Helper App: /Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper.app Action: Allow Direction: In Protocol: TCP & UDP Ports: Remote Remote Port: All Destination: Entire internet Edited May 27, 2020 by Mitchell Peter Randziak and NeilFS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell 13 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on the latest version of ESET Endpoint for mac OS (6.9.60), So upgrading seems to be the easiest fix. Edit: I'm not sure if there is a newer version of ESET Cyber Security though. Edited June 3, 2020 by Mitchell Peter Randziak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did it perfectly. Mac OS 10.13.6 and apparently started causing problems with the end user updated to the latest version of teams a few weeks ago. Currently has teams version: 1.3.00.15561 and it says it updated on 25th June 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,273 Posted July 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 21, 2020 In automatic mode all non-initiated communication is blocked. If a server initiates a communication, you must create a permissive rule for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why MS Teams or Skype on Windows are not block as on MAC? I think on automatic mode, popular application are should allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,273 Posted July 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 21, 2020 We recommend switching to interactive mode, run Teams, create the appropriate rules and then switch back to automatic mode. Mac and Windows are different operating system and so are ESET products for Windows and Mac. It's not possible to compare them 1:1. Moreover, Teams might work and communicate differently on different OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End user will need instructions of what to do. Not ideal, can't you have know good list of signed applications that are authorized? still an issue with Eset v6.9.60.

Administrators Marcos 5,273 Posted September 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2020 The firewall logic has not changed over years. We assume that Teams has been updated and now works in the way that a connection is initialized by the server. In automatic mode, all outbound communication is allowed and all non-initiated inbound communication blocked, hence a rule for Teams may need to be created. It is beyond us to have a list of all 3rd party applications where the communication is initiated from outside and maintain the rules for them.

I appreciate that it is not possible to track all third party apps but given the popularity or Office 365 and the current need for Teams is there a way to request that the engineering team can track this one? I am having the same issue here, I have tried setting rules for: /Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper.app TCP&UDP, all ports, all IPs, both directions /Applications/Microsoft Teams.app TCP&UDP, all ports, all IPs, both directions But still Teams will not work properly, as soon as I disable EES firewall it works perfectly. I switched to interactive mode and allowed each connection but they seem to be never ending so the call fails before I can allow them all, there is also no option to remember the action as a rule like on Windows, just "apply action" or "temporarily remember". Is this right? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
