Below are some steps you can try to remove (or sign out of) a second account in Microsoft Teams. Note that if your secondary account is managed by your organization, there might be restrictions or additional policies in place. It’s always wise to check with your IT department if you run into issues, but here’s a general approach:

Method 1: Removing/Signing Out from a Secondary Account in the Desktop App

1. Open Microsoft Teams on your computer.
2. In the top right corner of Teams, click your profile picture. You should see a list of the accounts you’re signed into.
3. Look for an option labeled “Accounts & orgs” or similar. In many instances, Teams displays your current signed‑in organizations (each one represents one account).
4. Find the secondary account (the one you want to remove) in the list. Click on it to reveal more options. You should see a “Sign out” or “Remove” option either directly next to the account or within a submenu.
5. Click “Sign out” for the secondary account. Confirm the sign out process if prompted.
6. Restart Teams. Now, only your primary account should be active.

Method 2: Using the Settings Option

1. Again, click your profile picture in the top right corner.
2. Select “Settings.”
3. Look for a section relating to “Accounts” or “Organizations.” Some versions of Teams allow you to manage linked accounts there.
4. Find the secondary account and choose the option to sign out or disconnect it.
