    For those who still get error, can try install net framework 4.8. Then, try again import the module "Import-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams". If you don't get any errors, then you can start using the "Connect-MicrosoftTeams".

    Enter your global admin credential using the following command:

    $credential = Get-Credential

    Then, connect to Microsoft Teams module using below command:

    Connect-MicrosoftTeams -Credential $credential

    I experience identical problems to those described above. Here are my responses to the above questions:

    1. yes, tab completion of relevant commands works. I can even tab- complete Connect-MicrosoftTeams
    2. When I issued the command "Connect-MsolService" I received a similar error message: Connect-MsolService : The term 'Connect-MsolService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
    3. output of $env:PSmodulepath -split ";" is

    C:\Users\jmac\OneDrive - Dickinson College\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

    C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules

    4.

    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)

    Account                       Environment Tenant                               TenantId

    -------                       ----------- ------                               --------

    This worked for me. If you do the Import-Module without setting the execution policy first, it won't give an error message, but it won't work either.

    You have to close out of your Powershell window and restart it, setting the execution policy first before importing the module.
