Unable to switch to guest organization
- Jul 09, 2020
mdmrjp Hey, it's really difficult to troubleshoot remote sometimes. Especially when there most likely are different scenarios involved.
But a few general solution steps to follow is to try using a InPrivate browser Window https://teams.microsoft.com and see if it makes any difference. You should also sign out / sign in manually from the top right corner and make sure you're using an updated client if on the desktop app.
If the problem only occurs in the desktop app one could try and reset the Teams client by deleting the cache (entire content in the Teams folder) at %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams (go via Start button). If no luck reinstall the Teams desktop client.
When it comes to this particular issue I am almost certain (as previously mentioned) there is a problem with the account at the guest org. Both of you have said that they have re-invited you but this should be done by.
1. Remove the account from the AAD
2. Remove the account from the Bin as well.
3. Wait a while for things to synchronize.
4. Re-invite you.
If all of this has been done properly and there's still an issue I would like to direct you to the official Microsoft support and open up a ticket, or create another account (if applicable) and have the other org. invite you on that address.
Hope it helps in some way.
alexsod As I mentioned in the previous reply "If the customer deleted your account do you know if they also removed it from the bin? It only gets soft deleted by default which could interfere with a new invite."
In other words, have them delete it again (proper delete) and then re-invite you. This is only applicable if you're just having issues with the account at the other org. as a guest.
If you're experiencing problems using Teams in general please describe them for a better understanding.

alexsod If you don't have any other issues using Teams than with your customers org. it's nothing with your account (I mean in general). They need to fix it (the account problem at their org).

ChristianBergstrom This is my only usecase for Microsoft teams, so since this doesn't work I don't use it at all. I sincerely think that I managed to trigger a bug somehow. There are colleagues of mine working with the same customer that doesn't have this problem. It may be related to me removing my own organization when creating the account, and after that I couldn't log in at all I was just stuck in a loop. Then I had to create another organization from another account and invite my current user to that organization.
