Hi, I wanna try out Microsoft Teams free version. I have no problem using it's web or in-browser version. I could send and receive messages. But on the local client, after logging in, I am stuck at a page prompting me to ask my admin to enable Team and I click a button "SIgn up for teams" to continue. But I have already signed up for Team using the same email. See the attachment please. Can someone help me?

I logged in using my personal account and I intend to do so. We are a small business of a few friends. So there should be no admin at all.

I am running a Linux desktop and I just downloade the latest DEB package to install.

    Hi @Forrest Bao

    The Teams desktop client for linux would be retired in December.
    Please switch over to Microsoft Teams progressive web app (PWA) to see if the issue persists.

    Kindly follow the steps in this link to install the PWA version: Microsoft Teams progressive web app now available on Linux
