Teams for Microsoft 365 Family Status and Questions
Started out using the web version, at teams.live.com
Within that web page, used the --download desktop app-- function.
It installed Teams app version 1.3.00.32283 (on Nov. 20, 2020)
This version of Teams on Windows 10 is working OK with my "personal" Teams account/"org".

One of my Microsoft "Live" accounts already had a "Teams test system" (from 2018).
The web address for that system was teams.microsoft.com
When that account uses the new version of Teams app on W10, at startup Teams shows a menu to enable me to choose either the old Team/org or the "Personal".
OK/Good.

Mike Glenn -- Some information from Nov. 19, 2020 in this article--
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/11/19/bringing-personal-features-in-microsoft-teams-to-desktop-and-web-now-available-in-preview/
Based on limited experimenting, this is for any Microsoft "consumer" live.com account,.
Seems like it is not specific to Microsoft 365 Family.
It only worked for me using the web -- the app on Windows 10 did not work.
Maybe need a few more days...
The article does say "preview".
These observations are based on very limited, initial experiments.

Mike-Moon-Crater, thanks for the updates on your experience so far. Being able to compare notes is helpful.
After switching from teams.microsoft.com to teams.live.com and updating Teams desktop client from ver. 1.3.00.30866 to 1.3.00.32283, I'm still unable to login to Teams Personal in the desktop client. Like you, I can also access Teams Free tenant created a couple years ago. And Teams 365 Family is not available anywhere yet as far as we know—or could be seen as indistinguishable from Personal at this point.

Mike Glenn -- OK,...now I am curious what "symptoms" you see, if any, when using web teams.live.com and/or Teams app on W10.

Mike-Moon-Crater, by "symptoms" do you mean bugs or features or something else?
