    CMSCMSCMS I've been told elsewhere that for the moment it can only be enabled in the old admin centre, and can then take up to 24 hours to take effect.

Same problem -

Students who did not have Teams enabled via old Admin portal cannot use Teams. 

Getting error 'Ask your admin to enable Teams' - but the Services & Add-ins option that was used to do this is no longer on the Admin portal.

No option to do this on the Teams Admin dashboard.

Very poor from Microsoft -

    mullark330 You can disable the new admin centre, then use the old setting to enable it for students. I've just done that, with the caveat that it can apparently take 24 hours to take effect.
