You may immediately join a public team, but you must request to join a private team and then wait for the owner's approval to access the team and its channels.
Note: If a team owner hasn't enabled discoverability of their private team, you won't be able to find it by using search. You'll need to contact them directly to request to join.
You can also join a specific team with a code.
Note: If user mailboxes are located on exchange on-prem, the Join or create a team area will not populate with public or suggested teams. The Join or create a team area will only show the Join or Create options.
