Try being a consultant who needs to have access to 2+ Teams accounts simultaneously.

On Slack I can just press command - <number> and I'm switching between client Slack accounts.

On Teams? Nope. Nope. Nope.

I have 3 accounts in teams. Two are in client tenants and one is my personal. I haven't had any issues because I can't work on more than one customer at a time. I still get notifications from the other clients when I'm not actively staring at things. I could leave teams off all day and still be fine. The business requirements don't change that quickly in my part of the world. If you are doing 1099 for multiple customers, you should not let them dance you around with instant messages in real time. That will wear you out very quickly.

You're arguing with someone who thinks clicking a dropdown and selecting a different tenant is the worst thing in the world.

		Because it then restarts the whole app, so you have to wait again for ages so it does whatever it is that it does. And since you can actually have a chat window open from a different tenant, there’s no reason why they should have you do this ridiculous dance. If teams wasn’t so god-awful slow, and with an interface jumping around all the time, people would probably complain much less of having to select something in a dropdown.

Did you even read it:

> Click the name of the org you want to switch to. Teams will reload in that environment.

> Open teams.microsoft.com in a browser for one org while using the desktop app for another.

How convenient! To check messages in a client Teams I just have to RELOAD THE WHOLE APPLICATION. Or just log in via multiple separate browsers or cereate a full-ass browser profile for each organisation.

That's a weee bit harder than hitting command-2...

It's a garbage fire, people only use it because it's "free" if you have a M365 subscription for the company, not because it's in any way good.

So you think I didn't read your comment because you said "Nope, nope, nope" and I quite literally provided you with instructions on how to do it? That feels incoherent.

> To check messages in a client Teams I just have to RELOAD THE WHOLE APPLICATION

lol Where are you reading "reload the whole application"? It's literally a dropdown menu in the Teams application. It switches the tenant.

> That's a weee bit harder than hitting command-2...

Oh my god, clicking a single dropdown isn't a "weee bit harder". You're acting psychotic about this.

”Teams will reload in that environment.”

It cannot connect to two environments at the same time, it basically has to restart from scratch to swap environments. Whether it’s a drop down or not is irrelevant.

Their official instructions say “just use multiple browser profiles”. Not very multi-tenant of them.

		Actually you can detach a chat to a separate window and switch tenants in the main one. The separate window will keep working. Tried this a week or two ago with the heavy windows client. Which is actually all the more infuriating to my eyes: this whole reload the app crap is obviously not necessary!
