Teams displays wrong email account after I have logged in.

When I sign in to use Teams, I use an account named "******@mydomain.com". I use the Microsoft Authenticator to authenticate my identity. The login usually succeeds. I am using the Linux version of Teams. I am not accessing Teams in a browser.

After logging in to Teams, my account is displayed using a different email address, "******@somedomain.com". I do not know from where this other account comes, but I definitely want to remove all reference to it. How do I get rid of that erroneous reference to that account???

I should mention, too, that when someone invites me to a Teams meeting using "******@mydomain.com", the URL I receive never leads me to enter the meeting. I can log in to Teams using that URL, but I never see the meeting to which I have been invited.

    Let me be clear: I can login and use Teams with my account amblyomoron1 when I use the Linux desktop app and selecting Personal account! That is not at all the problem. Obviously, Microsoft is not preventing me from doing so. The issue is the completely unexpected mention of amblyomoron2, which keeps being displayed in various places, as I have documented in this thread.

    Thanks for your input. I was referring to you email domain account. It Microsoft identifies it as work account, then you will not be able to sign up for personal account.

    Please allow me to go through and do a quick checks at my end and get back.

    Meanwhile, do you have a similar experience to access Teams personal account on Windows laptop?

    Regards

    You ask "Is your domain belong to any business Organization or personal domain? Certain domains are not allowed to register for MS Teams for personal."

    When you say "your domain" are you referring to the domain of my email address, amblyomoron1? If so, it belongs to me. If you are referring, instead, to some domain as defined for Microsoft, then I do not know how to answer your question.

    I signed in using my phone number (always within a Chrome incognito window).

    I select Personal account when asked if I want Work/School or Personal.

    I then see a screen as follows:

    Microsoft

    amblyomoron2 Sign in You're already signed in.<my phone number>

    Remain signed in with this account.Sign out and sign in with a different account.
