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 Opensource Community!

    I have solved the problem, thank you to https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/users/4355437/havafuga-2505.html

    My installer procedure was through the normal "apt" software channel and not a debian package

    1. Uninstall teams using apt $> sudo apt remove teams
    2. Then as havafuga as outlined locate the config files and delete them ~/.config/Microsoft/Microsoft Teams, this should be under your /home /[my user account], make sure to expose hidden files from the View toolbar
    3. Now go back to apt and install teams $> sudo apt-get install teams
    4. Upon next launch of teams, you should have the default experience where teams shows the "First time with an existing account" welcome screen

    NOTE: If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup for your correct account, most commonly with your personal device, you will need to complete that authentication process in order to finally land on your personal account view within teams.
