Working with multiple work accounts on a windows 10 device
Hey OddGentleman I have not used virtual machines before but understand the concept - It just seems like an extreme way for contractors across the globe to have to work! There must be a simple way to switch between accounts using installed apps (Office 365, TEAMs and even MS Project...)
I tried installing a browser TEAMs site as an App (https://youtu.be/XiKPKrWGgf4) from Kevin Stratvert, 2 years ago... and it seemed to work for a while, but now my windows account seems to take over and only allow the app to open the version of 365 / Team tenant I own???
The proper way would be for all contractors to have access to your domain, resources and communication, via dedicated accounts or as guests.
Our contractors can access virtual machines simply through the browser - via Citrix. We keep communication in Teams.
I believe you can also use different browser for each Microsoft (work) account. That's if you are able to work 100% in the web apps.
- Thanks, but if you can't tell already, I am not a system administrator or have any formal IS background or training.
I do not host any teams on my domain, rather work in TEAMs setup by my client's where they set me up as an owner of their project team. One of my biggest issues is even if I am booking a meeting in a client's domain (when I am using Outlook app, and book the meeting using their email address + calendar (@client.com etc.), I often find I can't start the Teams meeting itself and get a prompt saying someone will let me in once the meeting starts... Only way around that I can find is to be logged into the client teams using a browser and be logged into my KiwiPM.com domain on the TEAMs App itself - then the meeting I booked (using their email address, lets me start the meeting) It as though my windows account is not recognizing the account, I booked the meeting under and or thinks I am someone else joining the meeting I booked. Even though I didn't invite KiwiPM to the meeting? - Might have to try using different browsers (1 in Edge, 1 in Firefox, 1 in Chrome...)
