Using Teams with multiple organizations

Hi Guys   Imagine that I have 2 companies and I want to use Office 365 for Business in both. How can I use Teams with both companies without logout and login each time I need? If I have to do that,...

Hi,

 

Currently you can only be signed in to one Teams organisation in the Teams desktop client (iOS and Android app supports multiple org). There is an uservoice requesting support for multiple organisations, vote for that one here:

I use desktop client for one organisation and a web browser with the teams app (https://teams.microsoft.com) for other organisations I want to sign in to. I suggest that you do the same but use Edge browser or Chrome to get the best Teams experience.

This is a really lame work around. Hopefully in over half a year SOMETHING better is in the works. Multi-organization teams is hell on earth.

      ChristianBergstrom This is a huge lame in Teams.  I'm a consultant and have multiple clients who run Teams.  To make this product fit the market, it HAS to allow multiple teams to be displayed AT THE SAME TIME!  If one client uses Teams to ask me to work on a project, and another client notifies me they want to meet and discuss something, and a third client has a new process document they want me to look at...I need to see the feeds just like a multi-email Outlook: with some kind of icon or color coding so I can see what is coming from which company, and have something in the chat that makes it obvious who and what company I am dealing with.  I am very surprised this was not thought of in the original design of Teams.  Needs to be on both desktop, browser, and phone versions.

      ChristianBergstrom  Thank goodness! I hope multi-org gets as much love as multi-account. Multi-org is a bigger issue for me than multi-account. Will watch at the links. Thanks again!
