Remote job interview: no Teams account

I have a job interview in a couple of weeks. It's NHS, so application and call for interview all done through the trac system.

When I log in to book the interview there is a mandatory field which says "please enter your MS teams for the interview".

I assume this means a teams ID but I don't have one, other than the one for my current role. My current employer would be fine with me using this, actually, but it's not going to look particularly professional!

What should I put? I can't submit the form to book an interview without filling in this field. I'm sure I've joined teams meetings before just by being invited with an email address and clicking a link, but it specifically asks for teams.

Can you log in using your personal email?

You don't need an account just a personal email and the link will open teams in the browser.

I assume you have created a teams account...

Have you received an email with a link....

Check you calender in the teams, anything in there?

I assume they mean the email address you want to receive the Teams invite to (as I don't think you have a Teams 'ID' like you used to have with Skype).

You can use a personal email if that is the case, and join the meeting as a guest through your browser.

That's what I would have assumed but it specifically mentions 'your Teams'.

I'll put a personal email address in anyway as I can't see what else I could do! I can follow up in a few days if need be.

They just want your email address. They will send the teams invite through to that. You then download the teams app for the interview, and log in using the link that will be in the invite.

Hello, please how did you later overcame this challenges, I am currently having the same issue now. Thank you

Hello! I can't remember exactly but I think I must have just put my personal email in and they sent a link. It was just a badly worded form.
