struggling to use Teams for interview and work, how can I improve this?

textbook

Had an interview from a link on teams for two interviews - one on my phone and other on laptop but couldn't join the meeting.   What's the problem?

Without any other clues nobody can say.  Error messages?

Most likely reason is you don't have Teams installed?  Some Teams meetings can be done in a web interface but not all depending on how they're set up...

The problem is you couldn't join the meeting but we need to discover the reason.

Have you used Teams successfully before?

What happened when you tried to join?

Are both devices compatible with Teams?

Do you have the Teams app downloaded onto your phone and/or laptop, or were you doing it via the web browser?
in what way were you unable to join the meeting?

Do you have a Microsoft Live account?
Download the free Teams app, login and then try making test calls - Microsoft Teams Test Call - Microsoft Community

was the   email address the teams invite sent to the same  as the email address  you use to log into Teams 

in my last  job  i had  O365  accounts for  both my employer and the 'client' ( who  was my  employer  before we  were TUPEd out)   i also have ap eronal  outlook / live  account  and  could recieve  teamns invites to my  gmail account 

I had to make use i was logged out on O365  in both of the 'work ' accounts to access  teams  using my  gmail or outlook addresses

Can the OP join the links to the Teams calls using "join on this browser" rather than the installed application?

No, never used successfully before.   Got a video hearing too on Teams and the internet speed I need is 500kbps/1Mbps.  I need to check this

PHK

Yes, but what exactly happens when you try. What appears on screen. What error messages do you see.

Teams doesn't use an obscene amount of bandwidth.

It's probably safe to assume unless you live in literally the middle of nowhere and then some more that your speed is well above 1Mbps...

As above, there are several problems you MIGHT be having, so without more detail it's hard for anyone to help.
