Using Teams with multiple organizations
freddy311082Unfortunately, what https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?searchterms=68845 (linked in the responses) delivered is the ability to use ONE "work" and ONE "personal" account.
This, of course, is NOT what we all expect, coming from, say, Slack.
If you need more than one "work" account, be prepared to constantly log in and out for calls, or rely on the mobile application - the Android Teams client will let you add more than one "work" account.
You can also run Teams in the browser while logged to another account, but you won't be able to do calls if you use this workaround.
To be honest, even with one "work" account the application is not stable - I have one "work" account where I am a guest in 2 other organizations, and one of those refuses to "stick"; I need to follow email link to get in there every. bleeping. time. Despite several purges of %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams and reinstalls.
I can see the app is making progress, many things changed, but true multi-account is still not there.
- Yes, that is correct. But the conversation has also been updated since. At the end of the year you'll also have Teams Connect GA and then you don't even need to switch between tenants.
ChristianJBergstrom Unfortunately, based on the descriptions, https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Teams&searchterms=70766 is an expansion of the existing Teams federated communication model, and as such, still will not provide any of the functionality requested by the majority of users, due to requirements to maintain information within specific tenancies.
Additionally, https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/roadmap?searchterms=68845&rtc=1&filters=Microsoft%20Teams&searchterms=68845, which was originally expected to bring multi-organisation logins, did not deliver the necessary functionality to provide what has been requested here and https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/17750851-i-want-to-use-multiple-teams-accounts-at-the-same.
Are you able to point to an actual roadmap item that will bring the same functionality that already exists on mobile apps to the desktop clients? (To be clear, that is, any combination and number of concurrent logins — not just one organisation and one personal account.)
