APPS icon went missing from desktop app of Teams
SteveGatz Hello again, ah.. I think I understand. You have simply signed in/up for Teams for personal use and not a Teams free org. and not using a business account either, correct?
Then you aren't going to access the apps or be able to change org. with the "switcher".
Teams personal
Sign in, sign up, sign out and add a new account - Office Support (microsoft.com)
Teams free org.
Sign up for Teams free - Office Support (microsoft.com)
Just to show how it looks, this is from at Teams desktop app only using Teams personal and Teams free org. I can change between the two.
SteveGatz Hi, you have business/enterprise accounts where all is included, Teams free org. with some features and you can add a personal account within Teams with very limited features. To me it sounds as if you're in the personal view and need to use the "tenant switcher" called Accounts & orgs from the top right corner choosing your Teams free org. where you will find the apps again.

- Thanks for the reply ChristianJBergstrom.
I've located examples of the "tenant switcher" pulldown menu on Google Images. I have nothing like that anywhere on my screen nor in any account-related menu that I can find. Still stuck.

- ChristianJBergstrom, your assumptions are spot on! I don't have time to do this now, but I'll follow the directions for signing up to the free org later. I'm sure that'll fix me up.
Funny thing is that it allowed me to see the APPs Store for a while after I installed the desktop app, then closed me out. I checked out several apps before all of the sudden, that button vanished. I don't have a MS 365 Business account, but only a paid MS 365 account for Office apps. As you know, Teams is not included in that suite. I started the Teams process by signing up using the web app, but it didn't like Opera browser and recommended I install the desktop app. I suppose I could have read more about how to use Teams for free, but it seemed obvious.
