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

This error pops up whenever I try to open the Microsoft Teams app with my Gmail accounts. I've tried with both of my Gmail accounts and it still gave me the same error, even changing the privacy sett...

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.

Don’t have to be part of another network to be added to your org. Azure AD. If you’ve ever used your work account on your private computer it can very well be part of your org. Not saying it is.

ChristianBergstrom This is highly unlikely since this machine came from the store like this (out of the box) and the network at my husband's office is only populated with Linux desktops and where everyone has a strong distaste for anything Microsoft... and I'm starting to understand why this is, with nonsense like this.

I can assure you they don't use azure, since they work with AWS and GCC only.
