MS Teams (free) Account types
Currently there are two types of Teams free. The new experience and the legacy called Teams free (classic). You cannot create a Teams free (classic) organization anymore but if you did create one like a year ago you have your own free AAD tenant connected to it and can create teams etc. Pretty much like a subscription version with limited features though.
When you use Teams free today it's only with personal accounts, hence no work or school accounts, and the experience is also limited without any teams etc. You can be invited as a guest user to other organizations with that account but need to switch to the tenant to be able to access the teams.
If not using InPrivate mode / Incognito browser sessions there are some issues from time to time with the desktop client as it cache many things. There's a way to remove those files by simply deleting everything under %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams
You can leave an organization as a guest user, but not if the account is disabled. There's a way to see your current tenant associations by going here as an example https://myapps.microsoft.com/ and then select the org. icon in the top right corner and then manage orgs. in the bottom right corner.
If you're having issues with a guest account/guest access that org. can delete your account in AAD (and the AAD bin) and then resend another invite.
Hi Christian, thanks for the answer
Yes it appears I am a guest user of the organization (or user in tenant):You have guest accounts for the following organizations. You can leave organizations you no longer work with.
Right now, his invitations to the new account are not triggering anything, is that because I am using Teams (Free) and he is using Teams (Free Classic)?
The issue is how to get an invitation as a guest to his organization working for my other MS email account?
In upgrading, will all the content associated with the tenant be automatically transferred from Teams (Free Classic) to Teams (Free), or is there a workaround?
Once the owner is using Teams (Free Classic), he will have no issue accessing the tenant at least?
The point is, I'm happy to join as a guest using the other email account, (so there are two of me in there), but if the original guest account is removed beforehand, will all the channel (and wiki) content associated with the deleted account be removed as well?
Now that I have (temporarily) restored the original MS email address, is it possible with that account to ever enter the organization with Teams (Free), or does Teams (Free Classic) have to be re-installed?
Finally, looking at this in Azure, can the old email account be replaced with the new one by https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/reset-redemption-status somehow, and would that affect current content in the channel?
Thanks again.
