Hide Users from Teams Directory
We have a request from our corporate leadership to hide non-primary AD accounts from Teams search. Many of us in the IT team have multiple accounts (i.e. privileged access to certain platforms, developer accounts). The request is to have the ability to hide non-primary accounts from the directory/search. These accounts don't have email licenses, never log into Teams, etc. There used to be a "Hide from GAL" option in Exchange. Looking for something similar for AAD/M365Impossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when clicking Sign In, it thinks I want to sign in with my M365 company account, and asks me to accept certain permissions. However, I want to sign in with my personal MS account. So I click cancel and get redirected to the home page. So, in order to visit the site with my personal MS account, must either use a private windows, or clear every single cookie for every single Microsoft domain, which is also NOT what I want to do. This is simply unacceptable and driving me away from using the techcommunity at all! I made a video for you to show you how broken the sign in flow is: https://i.imgur.com/KnxnPKM.mp4

Teams for Mac - Account selector to show more than two acccounts
A user i'm helping is employed by and needs to switch between 3 organizations in Microsoft Teams. She is using the Teams app for Mac. When signing out of Teams she can only pick between the first two accounts used. The third account (tenant) will not show up in the account selection list. You would expect to be able to manage this list, or that it would atleast show the most recently used accounts. As it is now she has to manually type in the third account email+password+MFA each time. Is there a way to reset this list or make it show more than 2 accounts?

I have a distribution list for our expense system and put myself and our marketing director as group owners. The hope was that she'd be able to manage the members of the group via https://myaccount.microsoft.com/groups/groups-i-own This seems to work with other groups but not this one. There aren't a ton of settings in Exchange/365 for distribution lists so there really isn't a lot of troubleshooting that can be done. Any idea why this group won't show up?
