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

    I get the issue that's going on. Apparently MS wants to be confusing and not release a single clear and functional version of Teams. Alternatively, inform people when wasting their time installing (because my time is valuable but MS has no problem wasting it) a program that doesn't work for personal use. Given this confusion and difficulty in getting Teams working for me I've decided to use other options like Google's Enterprise video service. Since I pay for Google's services , and can have 100 participants for free in a video meeting. I pay if I need more.

    This issue was reported in February of 2021 and here it is March 2022 with no clear resolution.

    Make it easy and not confusing or lose customers.

    So it's Jan 12, 2022 and I have the same problem as described above.  The issue is, I am a court reporter and almost missed a virtual legal proceeding because of this garbage application.  First I got the "something's wrong" ****, jumped through a lot of hoops, finally reset my password, got to the "continue" button, and NOTHING.  This is a serious problem for me and I'd like a response.
