Using Teams with multiple organizations
RSWalker Hello, multi-account support is coming very soon!
You can follow it here https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/17750851-i-want-to-use-multiple-teams-accounts-at-the-same
And the associated roadmap id (the info isn't updated so don't bother about that)

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.
TomHuntford What can I say? At least it's coming. I don't work for Microsoft.
Well, it's now May and still no sign of it. Kind of renders it useless for our needs. I have the 6 months teams trial for our org, but if it is not fixed within those 6 months we'll have to move to something else
RogerAllen Hello, I haven't heard a thing either. But, if you hold on for 6 months you'll be able to use Teams Connect (shared channels) as it will be GA in November, at least for now. If you're not familiar with the feature it's a way for users to easily collaborate across different organizations. You can for example share a single channel (not the entire team) with external users or other teams. This will all be in the view in Teams where the other teams and channels are located. No need to switch between organizations and not requiring guest accounts.
