Changing from .onmicrosoft.com to work email domain

Hi,

As Microsoft have implemented a send limit of 100 messages per day on my @XXX.onmicrosoft.com account, they have recommended that I use an alternate domain account. I have created a new email account on my personal domain but Teams will not let me use this address to schedule meetings.

What am I missing?

    So,

    I added the domain and created a new user (purchasing another licence along the way). I then tried to log into Teams using the new user details and was presented with the error below (I can login via teams.microsoft.com)

    Oops!

    We have run into issues while switching to the selected account or org.

    Hello @PODA Facilitator,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum! 

    Thank you for your message. I’d like to clarify what Microsoft means by “adding a custom domain,” as this can be a bit confusing at first. 

    When Microsoft refers to adding a custom (work) domain, it means that you would need to purchase a domain from a domain registrar (for example, a domain like yourcompany.com). After that, the domain must be added and verified in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Once the domain is added to the tenant, user accounts can be created or updated to use email addresses from that domain, and those accounts can then be used fully with Microsoft Teams and other Microsoft 365 services. 

    A personal email account or a standalone personal domain email cannot be directly added to a Microsoft 365 business tenant unless the domain itself is first added and verified in the Admin Center. This is why the address you created on your personal domain is not available for scheduling Teams meetings, it is not currently associated with your Microsoft 365 tenant. 

    Regarding the steps to add a custom domain, the Q&A Assist response has already outlined the process, and you can follow that guidance as a reference. 

    If you need any help with these steps or have questions about adding a custom domain, please feel free to let me know and I’ll be happy to help further. 

    Best regards,

    To use your new email address with Microsoft Teams for scheduling meetings, you need to ensure that your new email domain is properly set up in Microsoft 365. Here are the steps you should follow:

    1. Add Your Domain: Make sure you have added your custom domain to Microsoft 365. You can do this by going to the Microsoft 365 admin center, navigating to Settings > Domains, and selecting Add domain. Follow the prompts to verify ownership of your domain.
    2. Change User Email Address: Once your domain is added, you need to change the email address of your Teams account to use the new domain. Go to Users > Active users, select your user account, and edit the username to reflect the new domain.
    3. Sign Out and Sign Back In: After updating your email address, sign out of Microsoft 365 and then sign back in using your new email address. This step is crucial for Teams to recognize your new email address.
    4. Check Teams Settings: Ensure that your Teams settings are configured correctly to use the new email address for scheduling meetings.

    If you have completed these steps and are still facing issues, it may be helpful to check for any specific settings or permissions related to Teams that might be preventing the use of your new email address.
