Check the Veracity of the User’s Email Address
If you are getting the “We couldn’t add members” error while adding users to Microsoft Teams it could be because of an invalid or blocked email address you are entering.
Verify the email address is correct or check if you are making any spelling mistakes and also check whether the users exist in your organization’s Active Directory or Azure Active Directory.
Verify Account Permissions
A lack of permissions to add a user to Microsoft Teams can result in the “We couldn’t add member” error.
If so, contact the admin to provide you with permission to get admin access.
