Microsoft Teams - can’t get into Meetings

[GTEYE]

All of a sudden I’m getting this message in Teams:

“You don't have required permissions to access this org”

Teams call I was trying to access was a corporate account, I’m trying to connect from my MacBook on the free Teams app download.

Some googling suggests I’m not the first to have this issue, but it isn’t really clear what the issue is, the issue seems to have happened recently - it used to be fine. I don’t normally use Teams much on my home laptop.

Annoying because it was an interview.

Any idea what the issue is or how to fix it?

Much appreciated!

There certainly used to be two versions of teams.
One for personal accounts and one for business accounts

The question is if someone sends you an invite from a corporate account, are you now blocked from joining from a personal account?

I’m obviously not going to use my corporate account to attend an interview for another job…

It's been a while since I had the issue but I think it was down to the client rather than the account.
Does it work on the web version?

Edit - when I say client I mean the version of the software.

Annoyingly it wouldn’t work on the web version of Teams either, just bombed out when you had entered the meeting code etc

You need your host to modify some settings for the meeting. It would be in the meeting options, I believe it's an option in security or roles.

This is a new "feature" since they "improved" Teams. It seems to bring the Teams UI closer together for Personal and Work/School but make it all not work together for whatever reason.

No solution to add, but I have lots of bother with Teams and different versions. I could not get I to a meeting that I organised and was the host for!

I have gone for Google Meet. It just works, reliably and no time limits. No good for speaking with people in China though.

Having attended a few interviews as well recently I experienced soemthing similar - essentially the thick client will not work (in most cases) for free (personal accounts) and it will default to the web version or simply bomb out.

Not a great experience especially when audio doesn't work as expected and you have to dial in via mobile!!
