Teams: Starts and shows Continue button that does nothing

Hi,

I just installed the Microsoft Teams desktop app. When I start it, it says "Welcome to Teams!", offers me a pulldown choice of "Personal", and a button "Continue". Clicking Continue does nothing. What do I do to start using Teams?

Thanks

Hi Iola,

I'm Nik, an independent advisor here to assist you with this.

To give you the background that MS Team free comes in two variants.

  1. MS, Team free personal account(accessible from mobile/web app https://teams.live.com). You don't need to sign for this as it comes with all Microsoft account

It looks like you got the MS teams personal on the Desktop app early to release on your device, but it has not yet worked completely.

I'd suggest waiting for Microsft announcement on MS Teams personal life launch that schedule to release soon this month.

For more, see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/r...

Regards

Nik

    It's now August 23rd, 2021 and the Mac OS Team app is still stuck with a non-functioning Continue button on the selector of Personal account type.

    What's the deal?

    I found the sign out button on top right, click it. It will take you to the login screen with the information you used to sign in, click your username and it signed me into the desktop page.

    This is still an issue 21 September 21! amazing logging into a Teams session can be so broken for so long...

    I have a personal account (which I want to use) and my work account

    Seems there is no way to have access the personal account once the work account has been setup...

    Logging in with a phone number instead of my e-mail address worked. Thanks.
