Someone has already set up Teams for your organisation Ask your admin to get you started with Teams,
- Is you are signing up for a free teams account and you use a registered domain that is already somewhere within Microsofts ecosystem (I.e. Office 365, a trial account previously) then it will have the message above. The only resolution to that is to contact Microsoft and ask them a.) where it is and b.) to remove it. There are many reasons it could have ended up there including another organisation adding it to their account. We typically recommend outlook because you can use those email addresses to sign up to Free accounts. Gmail addresses work too. If you have your own on your own domain and you are getting that message you need to contact support
Best, Chris
LiaMcLoughlan Hi, are you using Teams free? If so there's no official support to contact I'm afraid. Would you mind describing your particular issue to see if I (we) can assist anyway? And also let us know what troubleshooting steps you have performed, thanks!
ChristianBergstrom Thank you 🙂
I have a personal email account that I use for microsoft and have successfully login to Teams via the mobile app without issue. However, I get the error when attempting to login on my macbook - both online and with the application.
I have attempted all the solutions in the self-help to no avail... I have Authenticator on my phone so have noticed that I have a Microsoft and Azure AD account under the same email that I am trying to login with... The Azure AD account may be due to adding the account to Outlook as the email is Yahoo based, so I don't know how to delete it.
LiaMcLoughlan Hi, sorry but that didn't make it more clear I'm afraid 😉
As it works using your phone you should be able to solve this. Are you using Teams free? You've tried "all the solutions", what does it mean? Incognito / InPrivate? Reset of Teams app? Removal of cache?
The linked accounts you mentioned needs to be unlinked as that's an issue. Try signing in at all available places, Yahoo, Microsoft personal account, Azure AD and look for any associations to remove.
If you just cannot get this to work even though you've tried all workarounds perhaps you need to create another Teams free account, if that's what you're using obviously.
I am constantly running into this issue. I have made a teams account to use when a vendor of mine wants to meet. They use teams for their meetings and send out invitations. When I try to join the meetings using the link provided, I either 1) am able to join with no issue or 2) repeatedly get the "someone else has already set up a teams for your organization page." When teams gets in this mode, it doesn't matter if I use the browser to join the meeting or the desktop application.
