Now that we know the reasons causing this issue, let’s apply the solutions below to fix it.

How do I fix the Microsoft Teams error code caa20002?

Before we proceed to more advanced solutions, here are some quick fixes you can apply:

• Fix network congestion and restart your router.
• Turn off your VPN if you’re using any.
• Close and relaunch the Microsoft Teams app.

If those steps couldn’t resolve the error, here are some advanced fixes:

1. Clear the Microsoft Teams cache

1. Right-click on the Start button and select Task Manager.
2. Locate the processes of Microsoft Teams, select it, and click End task.
3. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run program, type %appdata%\Microsoft\teams inside the box, and hit Enter key. 
4. Delete the folders named: application cache, blob_storage, Cache, databases, GPUcache, IndexedDB, Local Storage, and tmp. 

Clearing the Cache should relieve the Microsoft Teams app of corrupt files or folders and prevent the caa20002 error code from popping up.

2. Enable TLS 1.2

1. Click the Search icon, type internet options, and click on Intenet Options.
2. Select the Advanced tab, then scroll down and check the Use TLS 1.2 box. Also, make sure that 1.0 and 1.1 above it are unchecked.
3. Click on Apply and OK to acknowledge the changes and try to open Microsoft Teams again.
