Missing "Teams" icon on the left side of the Microsoft teams

Question

Hi, I've just downloaded Microsoft Teams app for one of my college courses. I need to join a team instead of a chat. Our instructor just provided us the invitation code of the team and told us to click "Teams" and then click "Join or create team". But I could not find the "Teams" icon on the left side. Could you help me with this issue? I really appreciate that, thank you very much!

Answer 1

yes but in someone's case to join the team using personal acct or ms acct they cannot join the team code or even see join with team code.how to resolve this?my students cannot access the team I created.

i really spent hours on this stupid problem. I couldn't find a solution. These ridiculous problems and useless solutions from Microsoft are very boring. I started using Slack instead of Microsoft Teams. I advise.

Answer 2

I found the answer for my case (from live chat w/ Microsoft support)! I have Microsoft Office 365 Personal therefore I have limited functions in my free Ms Teams. If I want to create a group meeting with completed icons (Teams and so on), I will need MS 365 Business.
