The engineering team is continuing to work on adding support for multiple accounts on desktop clients. We will first launch support for 1 work/school account and 1 personal account so users can enjoy Teams for work and personal side-by-side. Windows and MacOS. Support for multiple work accounts is still being worked on and will come at a later date.
You can track status via the roadmap here: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?searchterms=68845.
Thanks!

Make Teams Desktop allow multiple simultaneous logins to different organizations. Like having different Edge Chromium profiles / windows open to different Teams Web sites, but without the risk of the Teams Web tab getting buried with a host of other tabs and without the limitations (like virtual backgrounds) in Teams Web.
Multiple, concurrent, simultaneous work / business logins / profiles to Teams Desktop is what we want.
Window switching is okay, maybe even preferred.
DO NOT make us switch accounts in settings all the time. We already have and are unhappy with that "feature".

"We will first launch support for 1 work/school account and 1 personal account so users can enjoy Teams for work and personal side-by-side."
Who uses Teams with personal accounts? I think you missed your primary audience / requesters: professionals with 2 or more work accounts (one for their employer and one or more for clients). In my experience, people are far more likely to use Facebook Messenger or Google Meet or Zoom or something for personal / non-business messaging, meaning whether or not Teams does multiple profiles is not relevant *at all*. So, if you could just focus on supporting multiple work accounts, I think you'd make more people happier sooner.

This feature needs to support merging a second call from the same person on a different device. I regularly get calls over Teams from someone on their phone, then the caller tries to share their desktop screen with me via their Teams on that device. I expect this requested feature to allow me to merge such calls (2 from the same person on different devices).

Having the control bar at the top is better than over-top of presented content or participant names 75% of the way down the screen. However, it should auto-hide and be pin-able during full-screen mode so that full-screen mode can actually take up the whole full screen for presenting. Right now, with full-screen meaning "full screen less the control bar area" is annoying.

"Full screen" should imply "Focus" and should hide the toolbar by default. I should be able to move my mouse to the top of the screen to make the meeting controls / toolbar re-appear and choose to pin the controls or the participant list as I please. But Full Screen should really mean "the presented content takes up all of the viewing real-estate on this monitor; extra clicks or mouse moves are required to find toolbars / meeting controls".

Being able to Ctrl+Scroll to zoom in and out helps a bit / is better than nothing, but Full Screen mode really needs to come back.

Thank you for your continued feedback, we have not forgotten about this ask. We have a feature on the backlog for popping out content, so you will be able to see one screen with the video gallery and one screen with the shared content. We will share an update as soon as one is available.
For the separate feature ask for full screen option, please upvote and comment at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/41277121
For split screen camera and desktop, please upvote and comment at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/37118773

Myself and my colleagues continue to miss messages from each other and from customers because Teams in the browser or buried in a remote desktop session doesn't adequately notify. We eagerly anticipate the day MS stops making us look bad to each other and customers by having Teams for Desktop support multiple concurrent work profiles.
