When Native Federation (External Chat) finally hits, I beleive we should be able to then Join group chats cross tenant. At this point as long as the other company invites your "External" user using "Search externally for...." when adding to the chat, you'll be able to stay in your home tenant for the chat. But that will be the only way to accomplish this, or you can start a meeting that you chat in and join from your home tenant as well today.
Otherwise as others have pointed out, you have to tenant switch and hope the toast notification on the tenant switcher drop down updates properly.
Most people, including myself, keep a browser open in the other tenant while keeping my desktop app open in my tenant. Then I can participate in both at the same time. It will remember that tenant as well, so you can easily have a browser favorite open the browser to teams.microsoft.com to quickly have that available.

I mean, the red dot means nothing. It even has a counter of missed messages but the value is wrong and is stuck at a static value. If I have been invited as a guest I need to see notifications regardless of which domain I am on. Other chat applications do this (Slack, Discord). Is this even coming to teams? We are about to pull the trigger on something else
