When the meeting starts, we’ll let people know
- Oct 22, 2021
For starters, this is not a bug. Rather it's the Teams app that doesn't handle multi-accounts / multi-tenants particular well at this point. In general you should be signed in to Teams desktop and Outlook desktop with the same account to avoid issues. When clicking a meeting link and being signed in to Teams, you need to be signed in with the associated account/org. to which the invite was sent (or enter as anonymous guest not signed in). If not Teams is going to use the signed in account/org. credentials trying to access a meeting in which they weren't invited to, hence being stuck in the lobby as not being recognized (that is if not "everyone" is allowed).
So this is a combination of using the Lobby options as an organizer and which tenant you're currently signed in to.
Using InPrivate / Incognito browser sessions is an alternative if having issues with the app.

Same issue here. The whole team can't work properly with clients accounts because of it.
The outlook is synched with both email addresses but we can only use one Teams account without an issue. Usually the one we are logged in on the Teams app.
I'm guessing allowing additional clients accounts on Teams would solve the issue.
When will Microsoft fix it?
