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,

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.
Frankly, I struggle to believe that MS is delaying implementing this feature for the application running on their own OS (Windows). I also need to access multiple Teams tenants from my desktop,
For now I've added "guest" accounts for my "main" account on the additional tenancies I need to access, so I can somewhat easily switch between them. Still a workaround with various limitations....

UBMike72interestingly I have had that feature for a very short time in my teams client (was back on Windows 10) but
- my colleagues never received it, and
- after some updates it vanished on my machine as well
So, it seems to me that MS will (or can) not implement this feature although there is a huge demand on the users side.
Yes, and guest accounts can be a workaround. I added a "PWA-based client" to my desktop for other accounts, so you can open them in a separate browser window at least.
I'd bet money that it'll be released as a feature in one of their new subscription plans as an add-on despite literal years of promising this feature.
Bet they decided back then that they were moving to a Teams subscription model so just held off knowing the demand
- No. Will be available for all.
