Microsoft Teams can be used for free provided some limitations such as 2GB of storage space.
We often think that Teams can only be used if one purchases a paid version. Fortunately, this is not the case.
What is included in the free version of Microsoft Teams?
- Unlimited chat and search: Communicate with your team and always stay informed with free chat and search options.
- Online meetings and video calls: Get your team members on the same page with unscheduled meetings and audio and video calls.
- Storage for team and personal files: Take advantage of 10 GB of storage for team files and 2 GB of storage for personal files per person.
- Real-time collaboration with Office: Collaborate using the online version of Office apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.
1) Browse to teams.microsoft.com if you do not already have a Microsoft or Live account
- Create an account with a personal ID. Press create one!
- If you already have an account it is best to test if you can log in at: https://outlook.live.com

Can I integrate MS Teams into my Outlook calendar from Office 365 Personal to send meeting requests from there with Teams ?
hi Jolande!!! You can do that perfectly. You can add your 'outlook.com' free account via Outlook and send out the invitation via Outlook. You can't access it through Teams . But you can via https://outlook.com and click through. I posted 2 screenshots in this article. Jasper
