Sorry, but we’re having trouble signing you in.

AADSTS50020: User account 'username@Stuff .com' from identity provider 'live.com' does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application '1fec8e78-bce4-4aaf-ab1b-5451cc387264'(Microsoft Teams) in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Sign out and sign in again with a different Azure Active Directory user account.

    Hi @EZ235

    According to your error message, it seems that the error message is a Azure AD login error. This article give a explanation of the issue: .

    In this case, it recommends you delete your Teams client cache as the following steps:

    1. Fully exit the Microsoft Teams desktop client. To do this, either right click Teams from the Icon Tray and select ‘Quit’. Or run Task Manager and fully kill the process.
    2. Go to File Explorer, and type in %appdata%\Microsoft\teams.
    3. Once in the directory, delete any file in the following folders:
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage
      %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp

    If it is no luck after that, you could uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft Teams client and have a try.
