Switch Accounts in Microsoft Teams
Although MS Teams supports switching accounts, using your UIW account ensures you have full access to all our features. Using your personal Microsoft account or a business account from another institution can limit your options and ability to participate. If you add additional accounts to switch in MS Teams, ensure you switch back to your UIW account if you encounter any issues. For example, if you join an online class meeting and your instructor is unable to add you to a breakout room, you likely are using an account other than your UIW one. This guide explains how to add another account and switch between multiple accounts.
