As we announced in this blog post, today we’re starting to roll out the preview version of the new Teams desktop app for Windows.
We have been listening to your feedback which has culminated in a...
Am I missing something? I've just today been offered to try the 'new' Teams, who's splash screen shows this:
I've been wanting this feature for about 2 years now... but it seems like the 'new' Teams works exactly the same way as the 'old' Teams, in that you still have to switch organisation to collaborate with that organisation. E.g. if I am in a call with a colleague from Organisation 1, I want (actually 'need' is a better word) to be able to have chats, teams and channels visible from all my organisations in one aggregated Teams 'profile', and collaborate with colleagues from Organisation 2 without having to leave the call from Organisation 1 and switch to Organisation 2 - I am still forced to do this in the 'new' Teams.
So what is actually new in the 'new' Teams for this?
The Teams team at MS just need to take guidance from the Outlook team, since they've had this very function sussed for many years.
We absolutely NEED the ability to have MULTIPLE Teams accounts across MULTIPLE organisations in ONE Teams 'profile' to avoid this nonsense. I don't know why MS seem to fail to grasp this most basic function when, as above, it's been available in Outlook for ages. Right now I am having to setup multiple profiles in Edge, sign in with each organisations credentials to those Edge profiles, then sign in to Teams Web in each of those profiles, then make the URL into a Web App and pin to Taskbar. This is just silly.
