A good articulation of the problem and possible solutions by Lisa. Slack has solved this problem with multiple accounts in the single UI. I can't think of a MS product that does this yet, but Teams would be a great place to start. I have six office 365 accounts and receive teams messages from all of them. I live my life logging in and out of office 365 accounts :(
I would have thought the federation option (like skype4business) would be a pathway forward (although can't get this working on teams yet).
Looking forward to a solution.

We definitely need this. For my situation I was able to get around this by using the web browser in Incognito for one company and use the desktop client for the other.

Do we know when this feature will be available in Teams? It give us headaches too that it is not possible to use Teams with multiple accounts. :)

Great scenario! This is actually a requirement for us to be able leave Slack for using Teams instead.

Let the company have a settings on the company domain level that user is allowed to sign in with only one organization. And if user is setting up teams on different machine other than Org domain, then let them connect to as many orgs as they need.

Many MVPs who need to access Office 365 for multiple customers now use Chrome's ability to have multiple identities, use the Manage People link under the person icon at the top right. Then you can easily switch between multiple tenants for the full suite of browser apps including Teams.
It's not ideal, really you would want one activity feed and source of notifications, but it's probably the best option for now.

One workaround is to use Google Chrome's Profile feature to manage multiple identities. You can create as many as you want and create a desktop icon for each profile. It can store credentials so you get single sign on experience with different users for the same or different tenants.

Totally agree with this. I am a consultant who always has this issue.

I was a consultant with access to 4 tenants so can massively relate to this. Was just checking back here to see if there has been any change.

This is a huge issue for me switching between tenants. I try to work around it by signing off and back on, but that takes a good 30 minutes of changing Settings to not auto-sign in, signing out, having Teams auto-sign me in (yes, even though I just turned that off). Going into Settings, changing them yet again, and repeat until finally Teams prompts for a different account.
Seriously, I lose 1-2 hours every single day on this. I can't even use the web-version of teams because the only thing that can be shared in a meeting are PPT files, so screen sharing meetings are not even an option!

Unfortunately this still doesn't solve the Teams App issue. Using multiple chrome instances for Teams is one thing, but the web interface is missing many things that the desktop app has.
02-12-2019 09:58 PM
Yes, Chrome is missing some things desktop has but for me it is still way better way than to switch to different tenants in a app. It a browser is not a perfect solution - but a solution that meets even 70% of things - I rather use it than choose not to use Teams.
Some people use Franz to access multiple tenants as well. That app too has it's limitations, very much like with a browser, but apart from meetings you ought to get chat & conversations working.

This is a make-or-break feature.

For me this is MUST have. Fo now I use multiple web Teams in seperated Chrome profiles, this solution is working for all O365 applications available by WWW.

Good then they are cooking something up!
