The iOS app for Teams allows me to be logged onto multiple accounts simultaneously, but not the desktop App.
Do we know when this will be coming?
Thanks,
Craig

@audunspello just recognized, now you can use another account... but only a private account. That does not really make sense. Why would I use a private account in addition?
Seems that Microsoft does not care or is not capable of accomplishing that task.

Lucky you, it's after February here but I still don't have access to more than one account. Not that accessing a private account is any bit useful as you mentioned... Guess I'll keep using my multiple private browsers or switch clients away from Teams to the multitude of other options with this functionality.

@ChristianBergstromyou seem to be an optimist and I would like to join you. That's why I've registered with UserVoice (but the number of votes hasn't updated yet, if that ever worked).
The roadmap reference says:
No idea which calendar they use, mine says it would be March now... Well, let's see. Unfortunately the feature has been announced and postponed several times. Would really like to understand what makes it so complicated or unimportant.

As far as I can see from feature id 68845 (https://www.microsoft.com/nb-no/microsoft-365/roadmap?searchterms=68845&rtc=1&filters=&searchterms=6...), the feature they are currently rolling out is "support within Teams desktop to be able to add one personal account, along with one work/school account". I have not received this roll-out yet, even though I'm member of developer preview group. So I'm still left with only being able to log in with one account.
Do you have information about when Microsoft is planning to roll out support for fast switching between multiple org/business accounts?
This is a long awaited feature, since it is not optimal to use Teams for video conferencing via the browser (I use Firefox). Video conferencing via the browser does not show video of all participants, only the host. To experiece a normal video conference, I have to log in and out of the Teams desktop app multiple times a day, with 2FA and everything, just to switch between my different org/business-accounts.

Yes, seriously behind in their thinking; they don’t get the gig economy with people working for multiple customers, nor do they understand there has been this thing called a pandemic where we are all working from home. Even the new rollout due out last month will only allow one personal and one work account. These requests are not new and go back many years to Lync/Skype for Business.

How frustrating is it to be the one who CREATES a Teams meeting only to get a message when trying to connect to the Teams meeting that the meeting organizer (ME!!!) has not started the meeting yet. Teams desktop app does not "spark joy"

@gorchase I agree. I need multiple work email accounts -- one for a health system where I work, another for a fire department where I serve as medical director, and yet another where I am contracted for healthcare consulting. Adding a personal account doesn't help me.

I don't really see this as a solution, Teams Connect seems like a way for organizers to add external accounts to chanels. It doesen't solve the problem of having 2 or more unrelated school or work accounts.
