To get Microsoft Teams for free on a phone or laptop:
- Use a personal Microsoft account to sign in to Teams Free.
- If Skype, OneDrive, Outlook.com, or Xbox Live is already in use, that account can be used.
- If not, a new Microsoft account can be created for free.
- Download the Teams app.
- Both Teams versions are available when downloading the app.
- On a laptop, the Teams for personal and small business use app can be downloaded from the Microsoft Teams for home page.
- Sign in on each device.
- On the phone, open the Teams app and sign in with the personal Microsoft account.
- On the laptop, install the app and sign in with the same personal Microsoft account.
- If both personal and work/school accounts exist, both can be signed in and switched between by selecting the profile picture and choosing the account.
If a Microsoft account does not exist, Teams Free can be set up on a phone by opening the Teams app, choosing Add account, selecting Personal, and creating the account with a mobile phone number.
If there are sign-in problems, use the Teams sign-in troubleshooting articles listed in the support page.
