I’m unable to sign in to the Microsoft Teams iOS app using my personal Microsoft account (Gmail address, originally created from a Skype account).

Expected behavior

The Teams app should sign in successfully and display my chats.

Actual behavior

The sign-in always fails with:

Something went wrong. [965yb]

Message: Access denied for the resource.

Environment

  • Device 1: iPhone 14 Pro
  • Device 2: iPhone 13
  • iOS: 26.5
  • Latest Microsoft Teams app from the App Store
  • Personal Microsoft account (not a work or school account)

What I have verified

Troubleshooting already attempted

  • Reinstalled Teams.
  • Cleared Teams app data.
  • Restarted both iPhones.
  • Signed out from Teams on the second iPhone and attempted to sign in again.
  • The same error now occurs on both devices. Environment

Is this a known issue with Teams Personal on iOS, or is there anything else I can try?

Hi! There's currently a server issue related to the Teams App Free, as you can see in this link:

Unfortunately will be necessary to wait for it to be solved for the app to work again on your device.
