You can do this in the mobile app, but not in the PC app.</p> <p>You have to log out and log back in. This is very inefficient and frustrating.</p> <p>Research into this issue shows that there are ways to install it as an app in Edge, or to use tools such as Rambox to switch. However, the reality is that all of these methods only switch the web version of Teams. Therefore, they cannot be used by organizations that restrict the use of the web version.</p> <p>The solution is to launch multiple Teams app versions. However, it is usually not possible to launch multiple Teams. I would like to introduce a tool that allows you to launch multiple Teams: Multi Microsoft Teams is OSS which solves the problem by allowing you to launch multiple Teams. Currently, it is only available for Windows.</p> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fassets.dev.to%2Fassets%2Fgithub-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/TonCunha" rel="noopener noreferrer"> TonCunha </a> / <a href="https://github.com/TonCunha/multi-microsoft-teams" rel="noopener noreferrer"> multi-microsoft-teams </a> </h2> <h3> Launcher to manage profiles and open multiple instances of Microsoft Teams desktop version.
