Connect-MicrosoftTeams not working

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

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

Thanks! This works for me!

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.

I've come across this issue, and I've discovered it's because my profile is on a UNC path, and if I've run as Administrator (as instructions invariably do...), I lose permissions to access the UNC path.

The best solution for me is to either avoid using Administrator privileges or just use a local profile if needing to escalate.
