I’m not sure if my school email is hosted by Google or Microsoft.

Your email address may be hosted by Google or Microsoft, even if it doesn’t end with gmail.com or microsoft.com. If you’re not sure whether your email address is hosted by Google or Microsoft, try signing into your school email account in another window before creating your account. When you select Sign Up with Google or Sign Up with Microsoft, your email address should appear as option.

Your lead has allowed specific email access to the discussion. Make sure you're logging in with the correct email or send the error message to your Lead for additional help.
