Why can't I add my school email to the Outlook app on Windows 11?

I'm trying to set up my university email in the Outlook app on Windows 11, but I'm running into an issue. I already have my personal email set up without any problems. When I click the 'add account' button and enter my university email address, it seems to load for a while and then gives me an error. I selected 'Outlook' as that's what my university uses. Does anyone know how I can resolve this? Here's a screenshot of the error I encountered: [screenshot link].

Thanks for your input! Yes, the sign-in screen for my university email is similar to the standard Outlook one, just branded a bit differently.

It sounds like you might be making a common mistake during setup. Make sure you’re selecting 'Microsoft 365' instead of 'Outlook.com' during the account addition process. If your university uses a different type of service, you might not be allowed to add it through the app. I suggest reaching out to your university's IT support for specific guidance on how to add your email correctly.
