Using Teams with multiple organizations
The mobile app can have both accounts and have you easily switch between them

- The problem is that teams is so far behind in features. They add complicated options to try to solve simple issues. Like the forces use of threads on teams. That is realllllllllly bad. In this case we support multiple organizations and can.t see messages from other organizations so teams is starting to look useless to us.
ChrisGapske I agree, the threaded responses in the "Teams" chats are annoying and as such, I barely use them, opting for direct chats with those who are members of the team because of it.
Honestly, other than concurrent multiple organization access, this would be my primary complaint with Teams as a product. The personal version of Teams doesn't even offer a "Teams" category/view, and I've been thinking about just using that with anyone in or out of my org to avoid using threaded conversations because they get to be too hard to follow. Not to mention that people will start a new thread to simply reply to the one above it, meaning now you have two places to look at for the same information. It's honestly a terrible design choice.
- Hi, far behind in features compared to what? Other collaboration platforms? I think that many collaboration scenarios can be solved using shared channels being released pretty soon (scheduled for November).

The mobile has one big deficiency however, at least with Android.
If one of your Teams organization has a restrictive policy (say, for instance, no screenshots) that affects ALL organizations you are signed into. So now my Android Teams can't be used to screen shot my other organizations - this has forced me into using Firefox on android if i need to screen grab a conversation.
