New user is not visible in Teams

Hi, I created a new M365 account. Office E1 with no Teams license is assigned and Team Essentials. But the user is not visible in other teams' chat within the same tenant.

Hello @Muhammad Shehrayar Khan,

Thank you for your message.

To better understand whether the Teams license has been properly provisioned for the affected user, I would recommend that your IT administrator run the following PowerShell command:

Get-CsOnlineUser <userPrincipalName>

If the Teams service has been successfully assigned and provisioned, you should see it listed under "AssignedPlan", similar to the example shown below:

User's image

This will help confirm whether the Teams service is correctly applied at the backend level.

Additionally, could you please confirm how long ago the license was assigned to this user. If it was assigned recently, I would recommend allowing up to 24 hours for the provisioning process to complete, as there can sometimes be a delay before the user becomes fully visible in Teams.

If more than 24 hours have already passed, please ask your IT administrator to try the following:

Remove the Teams license from the user
Wait a few minutes
Reassign the license again

For your reference: Assign or unassign licenses for users in the Microsoft 365 admin center - Microsoft 365 admin | Mic…

After reassigning, please allow another 24 hours for the system to re‑provision the user properly.

Please try the steps above and share the results with me. This will help me better understand the situation and assist you further.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Kind regards,

Hi @Muhammad Shehrayar Khan,

Thank you for your reply.

In that case, could you please try unassigning and then reassigning the license for that account as mentioned earlier. This can help refresh the provisioning and resolve potential sync issues.

Please let me know once you have completed this step or if you need any assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi @Muhammad Shehrayar Khan,

Thank you for the update and for sharing these details.

From what you described, I understand that this issue is affecting multiple users, this suggests that the issue may not be limited to individual user setup but could involve license provisioning or backend synchronization.

Given that the behavior is occurring across several users, I would recommend opening a Microsoft Support ticket so that an engineer can further investigate from the backend. This will allow the support team to review licensing status, provisioning processes, and any potential service-side conditions that may be causing the issue.

You can follow the steps to create a support request here: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

Opening a ticket will help ensure that the issue is properly analyzed and resolved as quickly as possible, so that affected users can start using Teams without delay.

Please let me know if you need any assistance in preparing the information for the support case.

Kind regards,

Hi @Muhammad Shehrayar Khan,

Based on my experience and understanding of Microsoft 365 licensing, this setup is generally expected and should not cause any conflict. Using a combination such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium without Teams together with Teams Essentials is supported.

Teams Essentials can provide the Teams functionality while Business Premium covers the rest of the services. So this arrangement itself should not prevent users from appearing in Teams or being visible to others.

If you proceed with opening a support ticket, I would recommend mentioning clearly that your users are assigned both Business Premium (without Teams) and Teams Essentials licenses. This will help the support engineer quickly understand your setup and investigate the issue more efficiently.

Kind regards,
