You can use Teams in-browser; so open the link (prefereably in private/incognito so you're signed out of all accounts) and click 'Continue in Browser' when it asks.

(The proper thing to do would be using a personal device however).

Use a separate instance of Teams on your own hardware?

Good shout, might see if my old Tablet will power it ok

E.g. your mobile phone? If you already use that with your work Teams login, just log out and then make the call, perhaps?

Last time I had to use teams on my phone (for a work meeting), it ran OK for a video meeting but not as slick as the mobile version of Zoom. Typically people on mobiles tend to use voice chat only on their end.

Though obviously you don't want to use whatever your work account is for the meeting as I'm pretty sure that managers have overview of the actual activities in the account as a whole, not just on specific company devices.

I've got it working fine on my personal tablet.

Invite to private email and access the meeting through personal tablet, dead easy (in the end...)
