Hi CatalinStaicuAlex

How odd as you have done everything perfect and it looks like it is going to work but then fails at the last point. So you should be getting to this point:

I will have a think about what could be causing this. However we are going to be limited with some of our options due to this being the Free version.

I did the above with my free account too.

I might have a really hacky way at achieving this but I will see if I get time to test it this evening and report back.

Can I just double check you are using the free version of Teams as I have re-read your first post that says Teams app for free and wanted to be sure you were not just talking about the mobile app being free? I am sure you are not but just want to be sure.

Thanks

Henry

    Hi CatalinStaicuAlex
    
    Limits of Free vs Paid for:

    For features that are available in free and no specific limitations for it, it comes down to general limitations of Teams:
    
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams
    
    The below is taken from the above link in regards to meetings:
    
    Feature Maximum limit
    Number of people in a meeting (can chat and call in) 300
    Number of people in a video or audio call from chat 20
    
    As for the Manage Org link, that is a new one on me but after checking I have come to this conclusion:
    
    It must be a new way of handling existing accounts that have accumulated within a Free Teams Org and looks like a handy higher level way of adding in accounts and inviting people. I am impressed.
    
    As for the why in one and not the other, as with a lot of features. Particularly if new, it may just be a trickle effect and has not been updated to reflect this change in the area that hosts one of the your Free Teams Orgs over the above.
    
    The above is of course speculation, so do not take it as gospel.
    
    Thanks
