Multiple Accounts in the Teams Desktop App
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

Hi,
The latest public information is that Microsoft is testing this internally and with some customers. It is listed as "working on it" in the uservoice request. A comment also says that they are planning to release it "this fall", but that I doubt.

Is there any light about the Multiple Accounts in the Mac Teams Desktop App?

Jurgen_Bosmans It does work, but not as one might think.
The only way to login with an additional Non-Personal account works as follows:
1. Close the Teams Desktop App
2. Find an E-Mail with a Teams notification for the desired account (I used "Foobar has sent a message") and click the "reply in Teams" link.
This will open the link in your browser (I used Safari) and prompts to open the Teams App.
3. Login with the corresponding Organisation-Account.
4. Done. Now the MacOS Teams Desktop app will let you switch between your organisation accounts.
It worked for me. I never used more than two organisation accounts but I don't see any reason for it not to work with more.
