Once the Zscaler client app is installed on a Mac, please make sure that the Zscaler certificate that automatically gets installed with the app is trusted. If the certificate is untrusted by default, you will experience issues with various apps such as Microsoft Teams chat functionality not sending messages.
 
Step 1: Click on the search icon on your MacOS and search for Keychain Access
