Hello Reshma, this is Emily.
You can download Teams from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams...
It is your account type that determines if you are using Teams for free as a personal account of Teams for Work/School. So make sure you log in with your work or school email address credential once you have it downloaded and installed.

I can't seem to find where should I download the Work or School version of Teams. Does anyone know where could I find it?
Here are the things that I exactly did:
Tried to download Teams on this website
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app
Then tried to log in using my work email but I got a message saying "You can't sign in here with a work or school account. Use your personal account instead."
There's a button that redirects me to the same website earlier
But I'm not seeing any options to download the Work or School version.
The home version has drastically reduced functionality. You can't even open meetings in the app; they open in your browser. I don't know why it exists.
Hi @shockoMS
If you have Work account (usually assigned by an IT admin as a part of an organization with a license to use Teams) or School account (as part of a school or educational institution), you need to install Teams for work or school. If you have an personal Teams account, you could install the Teams client for home and business. You could identify which version of Teams you're using from the icon. For more details, you can refer to:

Hi Reddit,
For school, I have my laptop with only the web Teams version. I want the desktop Teams app, like shown in the picture (from Microsoft's site). The new Teams that's available on the site for download doesn't work for me, and when installing the whole office package from the office portal, it doesn't include Teams.
Please help, I hate the online version, it is worthless.
Thank you!
Dear Sethhhhhh
Good day!
Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist!
Based on your description, I understand you concern with Teams installation in Microsoft Teams website.
Yes, because the classic Teams app is being replaced by the new Teams app. The Teams download page now provides a single installer that automatically detects and installs the appropriate version for your system, whether it's 64-bit or 32-bit, Mac or Windows. This change aims to simplify the download process and ensure that users get the correct version without having to make a selection manually.
If you have other questions, please feel free to let me know, I will continue to assist you.
Thanks for your precious time and your understanding would be highly appreciated. Have a nice day!

Hello,
That's because the Unified Teams app has recently become available. The announcement was here: Unified Teams app for work, personal, and education accounts is now available on all platforms - Microsoft Community Hub
It is strange that Teams is not installed when you install O365 for Business. Then you do a quick windows search to make sure it isn't and Teams pops up. But it isn't the right teams, it is the "other teams" which is also called teams but cannot be logged into with a business account. So from the Teams online Portal there is a link called Download Teams for Work or School, so you click on that and download it. But by default Microsoft has enhanced security on new computers with Win11 such that you cannot install the teams software because... "This App package is not supported for installation by app installer because it uses certain restricted capabilities." sigh...
While I fully understand how to get around all of this, the process is laughable. Does Microsoft not use any of this?
