Right now your best option is to use the web client for any of the two accounts!

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.

      ChristianJBergstrom  That is just federated communication. It does not solve the problem listed ..

        I did not say that, I said many collaboration scenarios. As for multi-tenant/multi-account all I know (as mentioned above) it’s being worked on.
