Changing between multiple Teams accounts within the app or browser
Dear @ANUSMIT DE SARKAR,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum. We are happy to assist.
To better support you, could you please provide a few more details?
- Have you fully signed out of your previous school account on the Teams desktop app?
- What exactly happens when you try to open Teams on the desktop? Does it show an error, stay stuck on a loading screen, or open with the wrong account?
- Does the desktop app show your college email address anywhere, or only the school name?
- Is Teams working correctly when accessed via a web browser (teams.microsoft.com) using your college ID?
- Are you using the same device where the school account was previously used?
In the meantime
Try these steps to see if the issue persists:
- Sign out of the desktop application.
- Close the app completely to ensure no background processes are running.
- Reopen the app and sign back in using your college ID credentials.
- Once signed in, verify whether the issue has been resolved.
Clear the cache of Microsoft Teams:
- If Teams is still running, right-click the Teams icon on the taskbar, and then select Quit.
- Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key +R.
- In the Run dialog box, enter the following path, and then select OK.
%userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams - Delete all files and folders in the directory.
- Restart Teams.
