Question details
The user wants to know if they can download and install a dedicated Microsoft Loop desktop application on their Mac.
- Product
- Microsoft Loop
- Device & OS
- macOS
- Scenario
- Accessing and managing Microsoft Loop workspaces natively from a Mac computer.
- Observed behavior
- There is no native Microsoft Loop application available for macOS in the Mac App Store or via direct download from Microsoft.
Ensure your Mac is connected to a stable internet network and you have a modern web browser, such as Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge, installed and updated.
Access Microsoft Loop via the Web App
Since there is currently no dedicated macOS application, you can fully access and utilize Microsoft Loop through its web interface on your Mac.
Microsoft Loop is primarily designed as a cloud-based collaboration tool. While Windows users have specific app integrations, Mac users can access the exact same features without losing functionality by logging into the Loop web application.
Launch Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge from your Mac's Dock or Launchpad.
Type 'loop.microsoft.com' into the address bar and press Return.
Enter your Microsoft 365 credentials (personal, work, or school account) to log in and access your Loop workspaces.
If you are using Safari on macOS Sonoma or later, click 'File' > 'Add to Dock' to create a standalone web app experience for Microsoft Loop on your Mac.
Enjoy a Native macOS Office Experience with WPS Office
If you prefer having a dedicated desktop application for your productivity needs rather than relying on web apps, WPS Office is a fantastic choice for Mac users. It offers a fully-featured native macOS client that is fast, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use.
- 1. Visit the official website: Go to the official WPS Office website on your Mac.
- 2. Download for Mac: Click the 'Free Download' button to get the macOS installation package.
- 3. Install the application: Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag the WPS Office icon into your Applications folder to complete the setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Microsoft Loop offline on my Mac?

Microsoft has not yet provided an official release date for a native macOS desktop version of Loop. For now, Mac users are officially directed to use the web application.
Is Microsoft Loop available on iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad?
Yes, unlike macOS, iOS and iPadOS do have a dedicated Microsoft Loop app available for download directly from the Apple App Store.
