Change organisation in Linux Teams client

I have changed organisation and when I launch the Teams Linux client, I am immediately taken to the old organisation's sign-in page with no option to change. I've tried deleting the cache and performing a clean install but the problem remains. Where are the organisation details being stored?

    Heyu,

    So since I really needed the app, T tried some things and it works now.
    This is what I did to fix it:

    1. I first uninstalled teams by opening the .deb file (I did it with Ubuntu Software).
    2. After that I deleted the whole teams-folder with all the informations. This was the path: ~/.config/Microsoft/Microsoft Teams/
    3. If you deleted the folder "Microsoft Teams" install the app again with the .deb file
    4. At this point I could log into my new school-organization.

    I hope it was helpful.
    Tag me if you have another result.

    Kind regards
    Hava

    Hello Microsoft,

    do you intend to fix this issue before end of 2021?

    Is it correct to assume that Microsoft has no solution to this problem inside the desktop app?

    I have the same problem with Teams 1.4.0.7556 and Teams-insiders 1.4.0.13653 on OpenSUSE TW.

    Look, I really, really want to give MS credit for maintaining a Linux client. But the problem is now over two months old, MS said they were looking into it, since then there has been an update that does not fix the problem and has no release notes as usual - the lack of responsiveness and transparency is very frustrating.

    Same issue here. In my case I used flatpak version of Microsoft Teams on Pop_Os 20.04. I tried to downgrade flatpak application to some earlier commits, but no luck. Suppose it's really happens on back-end side and have no effect on front-end. Web-application works fine and I can switch to another organisation where I guest. Hope you'll fix that annoying bug
