Access issue with Copilot Studio in Microsoft Learn Applied Skills lab

Hello Microsoft Community,

I am currently working on the Microsoft Learn Applied Skills exercise: “Create your customer service agent” using Copilot Studio.

When attempting to sign in, I am using my personal Gmail account. However, I receive an error stating that personal Microsoft accounts are not supported, and I am unable to proceed with the lab.

Is a Microsoft Entra ID work/school account required to access Copilot Studio for this exercise?

Thanks in advance.
