My company uses Google Workspace for our email and other services, but we also have our emails set up on Microsoft Azure/Entra. We don't pay for Microsoft services, so we don't have full access to Microsoft Teams. Sometimes, we need to join Teams meetings, and usually, we can join without signing in. Recently, I encountered a meeting that required signing in, and I couldn't attend. Is there a way to configure settings in Azure, Entra, or Google Admin to enable us to sign in to MS Teams using our work emails just to attend meetings? I understand that creating meetings would require a paid service, so I'm only looking for access to attend them. Thanks for any help!

Have you tried using a free personal Microsoft account to log into Teams? If your domain has an associated Microsoft 365 tenant, that might complicate things a bit, but it’s worth checking out. Just keep in mind that even with a personal account, some meetings might still require you to use a recognized account.
It sounds like there’s a little confusion with your setup. You mentioned using Google Workspace for everything, but then also mentioned Azure. Just to clarify, you have Google user accounts, right? In Microsoft Teams, you need an account that’s either a personal Microsoft account or a corporate account linked to a Microsoft 365 tenant. The ability to join as a guest depends on how the meeting organizer has set up their guest access. If they don't allow anonymous users, you'll need to sign in using a recognized Microsoft account.
You could always check with your IT department for help, but if you're a small organization without an IT department, that might not be possible. Just make sure you're exploring all your options!
Usually, whether you can join a Teams meeting as a guest depends on the settings the meeting organizer has applied. If 'Anonymous users can join' is turned off, you can’t join unless you're signed in with an account they recognize. Since your emails are configured in Azure/Entra, you might want to consider either assigning a free Microsoft account to that email or asking the meeting organizer to enable guest access. Unfortunately, there's no setting on your end that can get around their restrictions.
One option you might find useful is to create an Outlook account linked to your Gmail. You should be able to use that to join Teams meetings.
