For those using the Safari browser, tap on the ‘aA’ icon (top section) > choose ‘Request Desktop Website’.

After you finish this, you should refresh the page (maybe do it a couple of times) until you see a new screen that says ‘Use the web app instead’ – tap on that too. Next, you will be redirected to the Microsoft Teams page.
