    Dear Rick, dear Ashka123,

    I had the same issue. Relaxing the execution policy fixed the problem for me:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

    Maybe that also helps in your case.

    Best regards,

    Christian

    It worked for me like this:

    1. Install module in Administrator's powershell

    2. Then run powershell as user

    PS C:\Users\t> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process

    Execution Policy Change

    The execution policy helps protect you from scripts that you do not trust. Changing the execution policy might expose

    you to the security risks described in the about_Execution_Policies help topic at

    https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170. Do you want to change the execution policy?

    [Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "N"): y

    PS C:\Users\t> Import-Module MicrosoftTeams

    PS C:\Users\t> Connect-MicrosoftTeams

    (asks for credentials)

    Ashka123,

    Same problem, I had to install an earlier version and my problem was resolved. Hope it works for you.

    ( Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 1.0.0 )

    Hello Ashka123,

    Thanks for your post in the forum. According to the error message, it seems that MicrosoftTeams PowerShell module wasn’t installed.

    First, please run the following command to confirm whether you have installed Teams PowerShell module successfully: Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name MicrosoftTeams. If it is installed successfully, you will see the results like below:

     

    If you cannot see the result, it means that the PowerShell module wasn’t installed correctly. Go to this link to download and install the module manually: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MicrosoftTeams/1.0.2

    Please feel free to post back if you have any update on it.

    Regards,

    Rick

    Yes, you first uninstall the newer or current  version with :

    Uninstall-Module MicrosoftTeams

    then you install the version you want / need :

    Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 1.0.0
