    Hi @marisa brady

    Regarding your issue, when you purchase Teams Essentials, you are given a business account that is separate from your personal Microsoft account.  

    Could you confirm the following: 

    • Are you logging into Teams with the correct business account and not your personal one? For more details, please refer to: Get Microsoft Teams Essentials
    • Could you sign into https://portal.office.com/account/?ref=Harmony and choose Subscriptions , confirm that your Teams Essentials subscription is active there? 
    • Does this issue also occur on another device? 
    • Is this happening on Teams desktop, Teams web, or both? 
    • Were you able to use the session for over 1 hour normally before this issue started, or has it always been this way?
    • When the session ends/times out, is there any error message displayed? If so, could you share a screenshot of it? 
    • Also, could you send me the screenshot of your account that is experiencing the issue via private message so I can take a closer look from my end?
    • User's image

    Hope to hear back from you soon.
