Application Error in steam link

So I have been trying to link my steam account to insider, however, I am always met with an application error which looks like this.

:frowning: Application Error
If you are the application administrator, you can access the diagnostic resources.

When i click on the diagnostic resources hyperlink I am greeted by another error reading as such.

You are not authorized or do not have any subscriptions associated with your account.

  • SIGN OUT - SIGN UP FOR MICROSOFT AZURE - MICROSOFT AZURE HOME PAGEBefore you can start using Microsoft Azure, you need to get a subscription.

I have done the following in attempt to resolve this issue
-Verify email associated with my account
-Signing up for microsoft azure
-Trying different browsers i.e. chrome, firefox, and yes even IE
-contacted both steam and microsoft to solve the issue to which both pointed me in the direction of these forums to ask for an answer

Going to close this off in favor of a single thread that can be used to track the issue
