    This is typical Msft garbage. If they're going to force us to rely more on powershell to compensate for their deficient ui design skills, the least they could do is make sure ps is reasonably simple to use. But no, as usual, the instructions Msft provides are wrong, and you have to wade through endless articles and forum posts and still nothing works as promised. That's what we call the Msft black hole. And here I am, in it again.

    After installing and importing the module, closing and re-opening powershell finally allowed me to use the Connect-MicrosoftTeams command.

    I was having the exact same issue. Ver 1.0.0 worked like Ashka123 indicated but I needed a cmdlet that exists only on 1.0.6. 

    In trying to solve the issue I installed and uninstalled the module several times but I always had to close and open PowerShell again because it said that the module was in use.

    Now, I'm not sure if this is normal or not but, that's how I got Connect-Module MicrosoftTeams to work; I installed the module, closed PS, opened PS as admin and then it worked. 

    I had also changed ExecutionPolicy from Restricted to AllSigned. 

    Hope it helps

    Hello Ashka123,

    Thanks for coming back to us. Based on the screenshot, it seems that you have no PowerShell profile in your PC. You also mentioned that you have this problem since beginning. I believe it could be something wrong in your PS environment.

    I recommend you try to create a new PS profile to check how it goes:

    Best Regards,

    Sylvie

    Hello Ashka123,

    Haven’t heard from you for a few days. I want to make a summary here to make it clear to you.

    Problem: Getting error when running Connect-MicrosoftTeams: Connect-MicrosoftTeams : The term 'Connect-MicrosoftTeams' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script, file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    What we have done:

    1. Import the module.
    2. Re-install the module.
    3. Get the path of the modules.

    Possible solution:

    1. Create a new windows profile.
    2. Run cmdlet Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

    Regards,

    Rick
