What is your account type? Please try checking the Teams web client for problems.

Organize account:

https://teams.microsoft.com

Personal Account:

https://teams.live.com/

Are you logging in Teams via the default installed version of Teams (Teams for home or small business)?

If you also have issues with the Teams web client, contact your admin to run the following run tests to diagnose the issue:

1. Select the following button to populate the diagnostic in the Microsoft 365 admin center: Run Tests: Teams Sign-in
2. In the Username or Email Address field, enter the email address of the user who's experiencing the Teams sign-in issue.

Answer 2

I have an interview in 15 mins, and all I'm getting on the APP is this stupid message. I just want to login and use the application. Why isn't there any further guidance or a coded wrap around available. I have a Microsoft account, but no, today I can't use teams because of "bla bla bla" Tenant... Bla bla bla. Just fix it.
