    Hi @Brianna Johnson (PHMI),

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    To better identify the exact cause of this issue, please contact your organization’s administrator (possibly the IT department) and ask them to perform the following steps to check the sign-in logs through the Entra Admin Center:

    Step 1: Go to the Microsoft Entra Admin Center.

    Step 2: Click Entra ID > Users > search for the affected user.

    Step 3: Click Sign-in logs.

    Here, you will see the user’s sign-in information. Please click on the failed sign-in attempt.

    Under Basic info, look for Failure reason and Additional details to better understand why the sign-in failed.

    Once you have this information, please share it with me so I can provide you with more accurate assistance.

    At the same time, please help me perform the following steps and check whether the issue is resolved:

    1. Instead of using the corporate network, please try using a mobile hotspot (4G/5G) and check whether the issue still occurs.
    2. Sign out of Teams and sign back in.
    3. Clear the Teams cache. You can refer to the following documentation to clear the New Teams cache. Clear the Teams client cache - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn

    If you are using Teams through a browser, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete > Clear now.

    1. Please try removing and reassigning the license for this user.
    2. Remove the account and add it again in Windows Settings.

    Step 1: Press Windows + I.

    Step 2: Click Accounts > Access work or school account > remove and then add the account again.

    I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this.   

    Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

    I look forward to continuing the conversation.

    The message shown indicates that the current account no longer has the permissions or license required to use Microsoft Teams in that organization.

    To regain access:

    1. Verify that the correct work/school account is being used
      • In Teams, sign out completely.
      • Sign back in with the same account that is used for Outlook if that is the organization account.
      • If prompted, use Switch to another account and try any other work/school account that might have Teams access.
    2. Confirm that the account has a valid Microsoft 365 license that includes Teams
      • For business accounts, the account must be assigned a plan such as Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, or Microsoft Teams Enterprise.
      • For education or government accounts, a corresponding plan (for example Microsoft 365 A1/A3/A5 or Government G1/G3/G5) is required.
    3. Contact the organization’s IT administrator
      • The error explicitly states that permissions are missing; only the tenant admin can:
        • Assign or reassign the correct Microsoft 365/Teams license to the account.
        • Enable Teams for the organization or for that specific user.
        • Adjust any conditional access or firewall settings that might be blocking Teams access.
      • Note that for some education plans (such as Microsoft 365 A1), Teams is off by default and must be turned on by the admin.

    Until the admin grants the necessary permissions or license, Teams sign-in for that org will remain blocked even though Outlook continues to work.
