    Hello @Sue Hall Chapel Mediation Service

    Microsoft Teams Essentials is a business-focused subscription designed for small businesses and organizations. If you would like to sign up using a Gmail address, you can do so; however, the Gmail account will be used to create and verify a your business account as part of the trial or subscription setup process.

    To get started, you can visit the official Microsoft Teams Essentials page and select the trial option. During the registration process, your Gmail address can be used as the contact, but you will still need to create a business tenant associated with the Microsoft Teams essential service.

    You can find more information and start the trial here:

    Microsoft Teams Essentials for Small Businesses

    If you encounter any issues during the sign-up process, or if you receive any error messages while creating the tenant or starting the trial, please share a screenshot of the issue (with any personal information removed), and I'll be happy to help further. has context menu

    Yes. Microsoft Teams Essentials can be purchased by signing up with an existing email address, and the sign-up examples explicitly include Gmail. Teams Essentials is intended for business customers, and it uses Microsoft Entra ID, which creates a new login/identity. It can also be connected to an existing email system such as Gmail.

    A key limitation is that all users in the subscription must be in the same domain.
