* Call in 2 minutes, customer sent teams link. You tap it on your phone.

* You expect to enter nickname and connect as a guest (my company doesn't use teams)

* F.. u. Today we're going to log into Microsoft account. No option to abort.

* Personal account doesn't work (bonus points if you already have private office 365 logged in and it defaults to this account, then takes you straight to the error or tells you after 2FA).

* Kill app/reopen? 50% success rate.

After a few times I figured out that best way is to nuke the app data the moment it shows you login screen. And got PTSD.

Actually I found a solution for this (on android). Open the settings, apps, find teams app and force stop it. Then try to open the link again. You should get the guest prompt. Sometimes this needs to be repeated few times, but so far this approach works for me reliably.
