Moisty Hello, this is most likely due to different organizational settings for Teams. Coexistence modes can be confusing even for the most proficient.
- Islands - Use this setting if you want users to be able to use both Skype for Business and Teams simultaneously.
- Skype for Business only - Use this setting if you want your users to only use Skype for Business.
- Skype for Business with Teams collaboration - Use this setting if you want your users to use Skype for Business in addition to using Teams for group collaboration (channels).
- Skype for Business with Teams collaboration and meetings - Use this setting if you want your users to use Skype for Business in addition to using Teams for group collaboration (channels) and Teams meetings.
- Teams only - Use this setting if you want your users to use only Teams. Note that even with this setting, users can still join meetings hosted in Skype for Business.
Are you getting the same message in Teams on the web by the way? I've encountered a similar issue where a re-installation of the Teams app was the solution (as the problem only existed in the desktop app).
At present its just myself working freelance that is using Teams as i'm having to work remotely due to COVID-19. I has to upgrade my Microsoft 365 subscription from Home to Business so i could chat with an external client i'm currently working for. I find it very odd that i don't have the facility to send attachments such as screen grabs like i would if i was within their domain. As I plan to do more remote work with different clients that may use Teams is there a way around this or do you know if its on Microsofts roadmap?
Moisty Hello again, I understand. Here's a table that sums it up pretty good.

As for the roadmap I cannot say, but you can always keep an eye on the Teams updates here

- Thanks again for such a prompt response. As first glance there looked like quite a bit a guest can't do. I hope that Microsoft will see that Remote Working is going to a massive thing going forward and that freelancers that work on projects outside of an external company need to be able to be fully integrated within an organisation to perform efficiently.
Thanks once again.
