    To join a community or team on Microsoft Teams using a code, follow these steps:

    1. Open Microsoft Teams: Launch the Microsoft Teams app on your device or access it through a web browser.
    2. Navigate to Teams: On the left sidebar, click on the "Teams" icon.
    3. Join or Create a Team: At the bottom of the Teams list, you should see an option that says "Join or create a team." Click on it.
    4. Enter the Code: In the "Join a team with a code" section, enter the code you were given. Make sure to enter it correctly, as it is case-sensitive.
    5. Join the Team: After entering the code, click on the "Join team" button to gain access to the community/team.

    If you encounter any issues, ensure that the code is valid and that you have the necessary permissions to join the team.

    Hello !

    On the free version of Microsoft Teams, you cannot join a community directly from the Teams interface.
    You must ask the person who created the community to send you the invitation link. Once you have it, click on it : you will be taken to Teams to join the community.
    Make sure you're logged into your free Teams account, and not a business/school account.

    You can learn more about joining a Teams community here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-and-join-a-community-in-microsoft-teams-free-426e5f36-d673-4f83-a486-8d1e2d4bc22f

    Please let me know if you have any other question !
