Problem with the Teams App on Mac and a double account

Hi everyone, I have a problem with the Teams App on Mac and a double account.

In the sense that I used to use Teams with a client to make calls now that Skype will stop working I migrated with skype contacts and logged in with Skype data. Now when I turn on my Mac the Teams screen opens up and I always have to select the ‘skype’ account, is it possible to make that account the default or at most delete the other account? Which is the one I'm registered with and use for Office 365?

I hope I have explained myself, thanks alot

    You can now access both versions of Teams by downloading one apphttps://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams/teams-for-home?ocid=cmmsx4le86c To use Microsoft Teams Free, you can sign in to Teams with your personal account. If you have a Microsoft Teams (work or school), you can also sign in with the Teams account from your organization

      OK but how do I not always have to choose the account I had on Skype?
      If I vewdi the attachment when I start the Teams application I always have to select the acount in base, it can't be made to be the default, otherwise the Teams application won't open for me, and it's not very convenient this procedure.
      Thank you

       

  • Hello,
    To use the Microsoft Teams free version, you need only to use your personal account and sign out with work/school (Microsoft 365) account. 

    The same (single) application is used for both!

    Hi Stefano 

     

    It looks like you are using personal account that used to use with Skype as well as office365 account. So now you want to use only office365 account for Teams. Right?

      No the opposite (if possible), I want to use for teams only what I had of Skype.
