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

    It feels like it's dead.

    Although it is not a fix for the Linux Client, this solved the problem for me and might ease your pain as well.

    You can use the Web-Client and make it behave almost like the "normal" client. In Chromium go to: "Three-Dot-Menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut" and select "Open as window". This will open Teams in a separate window and you can dock it to the Taskbar and so on. The web-Client meanwhile also supports 4 Videos and has less issues than the flaky Linux Client (which recently showed no Videos at all).

    Still facing this issue. I can see briefly the guest account when I click on switch but then the app reloads to its original workspace.
    I cannot log out and log into the guest account because it uses the same credentials. Any news?

    I'm using this on Ubuntu 20.04.

    Login to profile A, set everything up, then exit.

    In a shell run:

    cd ~/.config
    mv Microsoft Microsoft-profilea
    ln -s Microsoft-profilea Microsoft

    Now run Teams again and confirm everything works as before for profile A.

    Exit Teams.

    In a shell run:

    cd ~/.config
    mkdir Microsoft-profileb
    rm Microsoft
    ln -s Microsoft-profileb Microsoft

    Now run Teams again and setup profile B.

    Now when you want to switch between profiles, exit Teams and switch the symlink:

    cd ~/.config
    rm Microsoft
    ln -s Microsoft-profilea Microsoft
