Organizations in the XXIst century rely on communication now more than ever, especially in a world where your staff is located not just in another building, but maybe even another continent altogether.
As such, tools that can improve the level of collaboration between employees can be crucial. That is where having a good collaborative tool can be extremely helpful.
One very good example of such a tool is Microsoft Teams, a free collaborative tool that comes bundled with the Microsoft Office Suite, but it can also be downloaded and used separately as well.
However, with all of its great features and toolsets, even Microsoft Teams is prone to the occasional issue.
For example, users have been reporting getting an error message whenever they try logging into it:
Microsoft Teams won’t sign in this morning. I just get the message that says We’re sorry-We’ve run into an issue. There’s a button to Try again. Also it says If That doesn’t work, try signing out and back in again. The Try again button doesn’t work.
How do I bypass this issue and sign into MS Teams?
1. Update MS Teams to the latest version
If you are using the MS TEams Desktop client, make sure that you update it to the latest version.
The desktop app automatically updates but, if you want, you can still check for available updates by clicking your profile picture at the top of the app and then selecting Check for updates.
2. Use the web client
Most login issues related to Microsoft Teams usually involve those that access it via the desktop client. If you too use the desktop client and encounter this error, simply consider switching to the web client, which you can access via any of the most popular browsers.
Note: The Microsoft Teams web client reportedly works best on Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

By following these steps, you shouldn’t see the We are sorry we’ve run into an issue error anymore when trying to log in.
