My Outlook Classic is not on the correct 365 account with other apps. Noticed the issue when getting Teams app add in to the outlook app. I continually get notice to sign in to Teams. But I'm already signed into teams.

I have uninstalled and re-installed 365 to include Outlook classic. no resolve.

I have gone through all of the available recommended steps (from MS troubleshooter) to correct the issue. Does not resolve.

I asked Get Help to connect me to an agent. Instead it sent me here.

Totally frustrated with MS tech support.

Hi, @Kenny Wright

Reinstalling Microsoft 365 normally will not change which account Outlook or Teams is using.

Is the correct account a Microsoft 365 Personal/Family account, or a work or school account? The Teams Meeting add-in in classic Outlook requires Outlook and the Teams desktop app to use the same eligible work or school account. It is not available with Teams Free or a personal Microsoft account.
