Auto Sign-out of Office 365 under a service user account

Here's the scenario, in our conference rooms we have a service account on the computer in each one (Conf1user, Conf2user, etc..), a user will sign into this account and then sign into their M365 account to access outlook and teams. We want to configure the auto sign-out in a way that not only is the user automatically signed out when the computer is locked again but that it doesn't show who was lasted signed in. When a new user signs into the service account we want them to not be able to see the past users signed in. Is there a way to do this at all? I know that there is no built in solution for this but has anyone come up with anything? We are using windows 11 on all devices and M365 business premium for users.

Thank you in advance for the help!

    Hi,

    If you need lock the Windows and auto Sign-out, it's not possible.

    However, if you want to log out of Windows and log in again, you can try using the shared computer activation method:
