The error is occurring because you're trying to use a personal Microsoft account (associated with live.com) to access a Teams tenant that expects an account already registered as an external (guest) user. In other words, the Teams instance belongs to a tenant that does not recognize your personal account; it needs to be pre-added as a guest user before you can sign in.
Here’s what you can do:
- Confirm with the inviting organization: Ask the administrator of the organization that sent you the invitation to verify that your personal account (your live.com address) has been properly added as a guest in their Azure Active Directory. They may need to resend the invitation or check the guest configuration.
- Ensure you’re signing in with the intended account: If you have both a personal account and an organizational account that has been added as a guest, make sure you’re signing in with the correct one. The error message indicates that the signed-in account isn’t recognized in their tenant.
- Use an incognito/private browser session: Sometimes, cached credentials cause conflicts. Try opening the invitation link in an incognito or private window so that you’re prompted to sign in with the appropriate account.
