Hey OddGentleman I have not used virtual machines before but understand the concept - It just seems like an extreme way for contractors across the globe to have to work! There must be a simple way to switch between accounts using installed apps (Office 365, TEAMs and even MS Project...)

The proper way would be for all contractors to have access to your domain, resources and communication, via dedicated accounts or as guests.
Our contractors can access virtual machines simply through the browser - via Citrix. We keep communication in Teams.
I believe you can also use different browser for each Microsoft (work) account. That's if you are able to work 100% in the web apps.
