Windows How to use Microsoft Teams after upgrading to the new OS – CNET – Account Information

 

I wonder when Microsoft and Zoom start playing together in the same sand box. It would be awesome Will be interesting to see how this all works. I have my private Microsoft account and my work account on my machine. My assumption is I’ll still need the teams Desktop app for the corporate environment while the chat app is linked to my private account.

Or, and that would be awesome, the chat app let’s me switch accounts or even combines both In the Teams app, just click your account icon and you can add account. For now, the ONLY other account you can add is 1 personal account. This is the 1 or 2 User Voice complaint that you can’t have more than 1 work account consultants with more than 1 client need multiple work accounts , but you can have 1 work and 1 personal account active at a time. This is for Skype Consumer not Microsoft accounts.

If you want to switch between accounts you’ll need to use the Desktop app. As it’s integrated into Windows though I’d probably keep them separate. I believe the app will actually be installed by default to enable the personal teams chat button functionality But I think the taskbar button will always be personal. But the app should be preinstalled. Who knows though. For a while, they were promising interactivity between Teams and Skype never worked for me in my testing.

That would have been better. This seems poorly executed to me. On the positive side, I would say that Teams Personal is about the same as Skype for the basic features and for Chat it’s even better than Skype, so for anyone who wants to use it casually, most of those users will be fine.

Teams is missing some of the mature features of Skype, like the ability to pay for a calling plan and call direct to landlines or send SMS you can do VoIP in Teams, but it’s a way more complicated project to set that up and I think it’s really just an enterprise feature, not available for the personal accounts.

Also you can’t turn off “Auto mic adjust” in Teams like you can in Skype. This requires the Enterprise or Education edition.
