    Hi,

     

    Connect with
    Import-Module SkypeOnlineConnector
    $userCredential = Get-Credential
    $sfbSession = New-CsOnlineSession -Credential $userCredential
    Import-PSSession $sfbSession

     

    Or you are signing in with a MFA enabled account
    Import-Module SkypeOnlineConnector
    $sfbSession = New-CsOnlineSession
    Import-PSSession $sfbSession

     

    You could also use this script to make it easier

        Add -OverrideAdminDomain and change to your tenantname.

        $sfbSession = New-CsOnlineSession -Credential $userCredential -OverrideAdminDomain "yourtenantname.onmicrosoft.com"
