Get Microsoft Teams free for your organization

Many people from business, charity, NGOs and INGOs has asked us regarding the Microsoft Teams free for their organization to conduct the conference. Let us guide how you can enroll your organization.

Before you get started, it's important that you make sure you're logged out of any Microsoft accounts.

An even better way is to use an Incognito browser window (or possibly Private or inPrivate, depending on your browser). That will make sure you aren't logged in to any accounts when you start this process. 

  1. Go to Get Teams for free and choose the Sign up for free button. If you don't see the Sign up for free button, scroll down (nearly to the bottom of the page) to Get Microsoft Teams for your organization today, and then select Sign up for free.
