Hello wario01 I found this on our answers.microsoft.com tech support site - perhaps it will help you:
etw0789 ChristianBergstrom , can you assist here? I feel like there's a doc addressing this but I can't seem to find it.

FYI
This is a link to a thread containing 3 pages of identical issues since July 2020 with no resolution provided.
This is clearly a significant issue for the Microsoft Teams Business product and a resolution needs to be identified.
I have the exact same issue. Not sure which account my phone number is linked to but if it's my previous employer then how do I get access to have it removed. How do I register for MS Teams at my new company? Any new solutions since last post?
