How to Fix Error: AdminTeamsDisabledForTenantForbidden

You’re missing out! Enable Microsoft Teams for your Organization.

Microsoft is migrating away from Skype for Business. They recently migrated my Office 365 Business account to Microsoft Teams. However, when I tried to login to Microsoft Teams via the desktop app or in a browser the screen would say: “You’re Missing Out! Enable Microsoft Teams for Your Organization.” When I tried to access teams via the browser at teams.microsoft.com I also noticed the error code in the url: “AdminTeamsDisabledForTenantForbidden”.

Unfortunately, a few hours with Microsoft support was not helpful in resolving the problem. But, I was able to dig through the many layers of Microsoft’s settings and admin pages to discover the problem, and solution. Here’s the solution.

Error Code from URL Response

Note, the “You’re Missing Out! Enable Microsoft Teams for your Organization.” message can appear for many different reasons.

To get more information about what the problem is, try logging into teams.microsoft.com in Google Chrome. (Note: The error message was stripped from the url in Microsoft Edge’s browser.) Then, take a look at the error code that appears in the address bar. This error code will give you (a little) more information about the problem.

In my case, the error message was: AdminTeamsDisabledForTenantForbidden. Your error message may not be the same. In which case, this solution may not work for you.

How to Fix AdminTeamsDisabledForTenantForbidden Error

1. Go to your Microsoft 365 Admin page (https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/homepage)
2. In the menu that goes down the left side of the screen, click Roles
3. When the Roles screen appears, click Teams admin
4. A Teams admin window will now appear on the right side of the screen
5. Click Assigned admins
6. Make sure you have at least 1 assigned admin for Teams
7. If there aren’t any admins assigned
   1. Click add
   2. Type the email address for the person you’d like to make admin
   3. Click save
8. Try to open teams again via the browser at https://teams.microsoft.com

Good luck!
