Hi! Jacques. Thanks for the details and for bringing this up, I'm here to help.
Here’s a step-by-step guide depending on whether you’re using desktop, mobile, or web:
Option 1: Microsoft Teams on Web
- Go to https://teams.microsoft.com.
- Click Sign in.
- Enter your Microsoft account email (Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Live.com, or any Microsoft 365 account).
- Enter your password (or approve with Microsoft Authenticator if enabled).
- You’ll be redirected to your Teams dashboard where you can join or create teams.
Option 2: Microsoft Teams Desktop App
- Download Teams from: Download Microsoft Teams.
- Install and launch the app.
- On the sign-in page, enter your Microsoft account email.
- Authenticate with your password or 2FA.
- Once signed in, you’ll see your Teams and Channels.
Option 3: Microsoft Teams Mobile App
- Download Microsoft Teams from Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone).
- Open the app → Sign in.
- Enter your Microsoft account email and password.
- You’re now connected to Teams.
Just remember:
- If it’s a work/school Teams account, you’ll need the login from your organization (not a personal Microsoft account).
- If it’s a personal Teams, your Outlook/Hotmail/Live email will work.
- If someone invites you, check your email invite and click Join Teams to link your account automatically.
Best regards,
Kimberly
