2]Connect to Skype Business Online using PowerShell
Skype for Business administrators are responsible for managing policies in the Microsoft 365 admin center. However, this can also be done by using PowerShell. That is how:
3]Enable SipDomain for the domain
SipDomains are domains authorized to receive and send SIP traffic while assigning user addresses. If it is disabled somehow, you may face errors in Microsoft Teams admin center. This is how you can check if the service is enabled:
4]Assign a user license for teams
The domain must have at least one user who is authorized or licensed to use Teams. A global admin requires assigning a Teams license to a user account with a Teams admin role or a Global admin role. Here you will know how you can do it:
- Open the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- navigate to Users > Active Users.
- Select the user you want to assign a license to and click Licenses and applications.
- check the licenses section, select Microsoft Teams check box and then click Save Changes.
