I want to use multiple Teams accounts at the same time
LOG INTO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
We need the ability to sign in with multiple accounts. Many of us have several O365 accounts for various reasons (consulting, etc), and we’d need to be able to access teams directly. This is not a federation or B2B scenario, but a case where new O365 credentials have been created in another tenant for us. The app today only allows a single signed-in account at a time and that’s a blocker.

As stated in the last update, the ability to use multiple Teams accounts at the same time is being implemented in stages for Desktop. Faster tenant switching functionality on the Windows client has been rolled out to the public ring fully, and Mac will begin rolling out soon. Work is in progress on cross-tenant notification improvements, and support for multiple accounts on desktop will follow. We’ll keep you posted!
Note: The ability to use multiple Teams accounts at the same time is supported on iOS & Android today.
Thanks,
Alex & the Teams team

No it is not on Android. I miss calls and notifications from other organizations when that organization is not checked under "your orgs" -

I like seeing multiple accounts on the Teams App, but not getting the notification on invited or from the other main account logged in. That definitely needs to be fixed soon

Could we get this to work similar to the way the Outlook app works...where you have the ability to add multiple mailboxes (in this case Teams) that use different credentials but are all accessible in an aggregated view with the option of selecting a narrower focus limited to one specific mailbox (or Team in this case) if / when necessary?
At this point...not having this ability is greatly impacting adoption of MS Teams for a lot of the customers I support who were “late to the show”. They would love to leverage it but their end users already have MS Teams accounts with other organizations / tenants and the ability to switch back and forth is a huge pain. Because of this they feel like it would be better to go with an alternative solution versus paying for a capability that will probably be underutilized.

Will I be able to having a GCC account and a regular business tenant account on the same device? Outlook iOS app removes all accounts when you add a GCC account to it. :/

6 months. No update. This product is crippled and nothing but silence from Microsoft. Amazing.
