MarcTrep The Work/School version of Teams does not need to be signed in to join a meeting. Click the Join Meeting link and it will open straight to the meeting.

 

Alternatively join using a browser only, pretty much the same experience as having the desktop client anyway.

StevenC365That's what I thought, but it almost always asks me to sign in when the program opens. Sometimes I am able to access the pre-meeting setup, but it will usually prompt a sign-in or just flat lock-up when trying to join the meeting. I just don't understand why Microsoft split Teams into 2 programs for no reason.

    MarcTrep- as Steven mentioned, the web option sounds like it may be best for you. If the link is automatically opening the Teams app when the link is clicked, you may need to see if you can disable that in the browser.
