Hello AlexAbramov, wanted to ask if the issue is related to Teams or the web or the app on desktop.
If it app on the desktop please go ahead to clear cache by going to %appdata% > Roaming > Microsoft Then rename the Teams folder here to Teams_old. Again go to Settings from the Windows Start Menu > Account > Access Work or School > Locate user account and disconnect.
When the above is done then relaunch Teams and sign. Ensure that you have closed Teams app and Outlook before carry out the above.
