"Due to org policy, you can't use (Gmail) with Teams on this device. Contact your admin"

aotaibi001 As Adam said this could be due to a policy set by an admin, this is a direct link to the info https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/sign-in-teams#how-to-restrict-sign-in-on-desktop-devices
You can always use the web client and if necessary you don't even have to sign in to participate in a teams meeting
For the record I heard about this issue from another member yesterday as well and he was sure he hadn't set any restriction as he was the admin.

In this case you can use another device or try use the web client

adam deltinger It's on my personal laptop. I've tried on Chrome and Safari but they direct me to the desktop app and it still gives me the same error. The Gmail account works perfectly on the phone app though.

I'm in the same situation.
I'm not in an organisation, and I'm using a my own email address which is forwarded to Gmail
