I upgraded to the Microsoft 365 premium plan purposely to connect my Teams to my ChatGPT business account, but I cannot link, and it says, "You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead." I believe I already have a Microsoft work account. Please confirm and help me link Teams to ChatGPT Business.

    It seems that you are encountering an issue with signing into Microsoft Teams using your personal account instead of your work or school account. To resolve this, ensure that you are using the correct credentials for your Microsoft work account. Here are some steps you can follow:

    1. Check Your Account Type: Make sure that you are indeed using a work or school account. You can verify this by signing into the Microsoft 365 admin center or checking your account settings.
    2. Sign In Correctly: When prompted to sign in, ensure that you are entering the credentials associated with your work or school account, not a personal Microsoft account.
    3. Use Incognito Mode: If you continue to have issues, try accessing Teams through a private or incognito browser window to avoid any cached login information that might be causing conflicts.
    4. Linking to ChatGPT: Once you have confirmed that you are using the correct work account, you should be able to link Teams to your ChatGPT business account as intended. If further issues persist, consider reaching out to your IT administrator for assistance.

    If you have recently upgraded to the Microsoft 365 premium plan, ensure that all necessary permissions and settings are configured correctly to allow integration with third-party services like ChatGPT.

    Hi @Henry SURVIVAL,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    I completely understand why you want to link Microsoft Teams with your ChatGPT Business workspace, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify what’s possible and how to get it working. In this case, the error you’re seeing usually means there’s a misunderstood between Microsoft 365 Premium (personal's plan) and Microsoft 365 Business Premium (business's plan): personal plans use personal Microsoft accounts (Outlook.com/Live) and can’t authenticate enterprise apps, while ChatGPT Business and Teams (business) require a work or school account in a business tenant (Microsoft Entra ID).
    For comparison:

    To proceed, please make sure you’re on Microsoft 365 Business Premium (or another business SKU), sign into the Teams for work/school app with your work account (not a personal one), and if you’re an admin enable SSO and verify your company domain in your ChatGPT Business workspace.
    For reference:

    I hope this information is helpful. Please follow this suggestion and let me know if it's helpful for you. If you can confirm that you're using a business account and purchased Microsoft 365 business premium plan, please reach out to me and we can work together to resolve this issue.

    Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

    I look forward to continuing the conversation.

    Hello Killian-N,
    Thank you for responding. I would like to convert my personal account to a work account using the same email address I used in the registration. Creating a new work account with a company email address presents significant challenges for me. I also need to maintain my Microsoft Teams account and all its contents, as I intend to integrate it with the ChatGPT business. I also suggest that shifting from personal to work accounts should be convenient for clients like me.
    Thank you.
