Summary
Microsoft Teams on the web plans a new sign-in preview with "Continue with Apple" and "Continue with Google" for consumer accounts via login.microsoftonline.com/common. Enterprise users with custom URLs won't be affected. The rollout is on hold, and no action is needed currently.

Body (from Message Center)

Updated November 24, 2025: This change is currently on hold. We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience. 

 We’re introducing a new sign-in experience that enhances flexibility and accessibility for a limited number of users on Microsoft Teams for the web. This change introduces new sign-in options—Continue with Apple and Continue with Google—on the sign-in page (teams.microsoft.com or teams.com) for users routed through login.microsoftonline.com/common.

NOTE: These options are intended for consumer Microsoft accounts and may be visible to both consumer and enterprise users, depending on your authentication configuration.

[When this will happen:]

Preview, General Availability: We will update this Message center post when we are ready to proceed.

[How this will affect your organization:]

After this rollout:

  • Users can sign in or sign up for a Microsoft account using Apple or Google credentials.
  • Some users will be prompted to confirm whether they are using a personal or work/school account.
  • Existing sign-in methods remain unchanged, including entering an email/username or using Sign-in options to access organizational accounts.
  • Organizations using custom URLs (such as login.microsoftonline.com/contoso.com) will not be affected.
  • In the case of Teams on the web, the custom URLs will be https://teams.microsoft.com?tenantId=<YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME> or https://teams.microsoft.com?tenantId=<YOUR_TENANT_ID>

Screenshots of the new experience:

1. Users can select Continue with Apple or Continue with Google to sign in or sign up for a consumer Microsoft account using an Apple or Google credential. This image shows the Google option:

2. A subset of users who click these options will see a screen that confirms whether they are using a personal or work/school account. In this image, the user has selected the work/school option:

3. Users can still enter their email/username at the top of the sign-in screen, and sign into a specific organization with Sign-in options:

[What you need to do to prepare:]

No action is required. This feature is only being added to login.microsoftonline.com/common. Users accessing login.microsoftonline.com with a custom URL will not see this feature.

You can show a custom URL for your organization by passing a domain hint to apply company branding at the initial sign-in screen. Custom URLs for Teams on the web will be https://teams.microsoft.com?tenantId=<YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME> or https://teams.microsoft.com?tenantId=<YOUR_TENANT_ID>.
