How do i find my microsoft teams id

Hi Greatness Akalonu 

I understand the confusion, Microsoft Teams doesn’t always clearly label what an employer may refer to as a “Teams ID.” 

Most employers are actually asking for one of the following, depending on how they plan to add you to Teams: 

Option 1: Your Microsoft Teams email address (most common) 

In most cases, the “Teams ID” is simply the email address you use to sign in to Microsoft Teams. 

You can try these steps to find it: 

1. Open Microsoft Teams 
2. Click your profile picture in the top‑right corner 
3. Your email address will be shown under your name 

This is usually all an employer needs to invite you to their organization. 

Option 2: Your Azure AD / User Object ID (less common, IT use) 

If your employer specifically wants a Teams ID or Object ID, this typically applies only to business accounts, not personal ones. 

You can find it as follows: 

1. Go to https://entra.microsoft.com 
2. Sign in with your work account 
3. Select Users > Your account 
4. Copy the Object ID 

Note: This option will not be available if you’re using a personal Teams account (e.g., Outlook.com, Hotmail). 

If you don’t yet have a work or school Teams account, your employer may need to: 

• Invite you as a guest, or 
• Provide you with a company email and Teams license 

In this case, confirming with them which “Teams ID” they require (email address vs. Object ID) will help avoid delays.

Ur only real Teams ID is the UPN mail u see when u tap the top‑right icon—Teams doesn’t expose any other user key Entra can map. If that still doesn’t show, open portal.azure.com → My account; the same UPN is there, just hand that to HR.
