New Connector works for Outlook but not Microsoft Teams

I'm trying to build an Office 365 Connector exclusively for use on Microsoft Teams based on this documentation. It seems to work for Outlook groups, but not for Teams.

I've successfully created a Connector on the Connectors Developer Dashboard and configured it to work on Teams (image below), but when I click the "Connect to Office 365" button on my site, it gives me an error "No valid mailbox Found". When I change the settings of the Connector in the dashboard to support Outlook (and also check the Inbox and Group boxes), I no longer receive this error and instead get to choose the connection, but my team is still not on the list. Clearly Teams isn't being considered for the connection.

These settings:

Produce this error:

Is there something special I need to do to configure my team for new Connectors?

Just a checklist of things I've tried:

  1. Sideloading and developer preview are enabled for my team.
  2. The Connector in the Dashboard was made with the same Microsoft account as the one on Teams.
  3. I created an app with the connector defined in the manifest.json and sideloaded it into my team.
  4. URL is https://outlook.office.com/connectors/Connect?state={my-state}&app_id={connector-id-from-dashboard}&callback_url=http://localhost:3000/enable-teams

The "Connect to Office 365" button indeed does not work, as the user first has to add the connector to a team. We've updated our documentation to call this out, along with other Teams-specific instructions.
