3] Check your Internet Connection
A poor Internet connection stops your MS Teams at the loading page, hence, you need to check your Internet connection and see if you are getting low bandwidth. You can use a Internet Speed Checker to do the same, if you conclude that your Internet speed is slow, check if all the devices connected to that network are seeing similar issues. If they are, then you need to contact your ISP. If yours is the only device getting low bandwidth then you should fix the slow Internet issue.
