Microsoft has finally announced that it will launch a unified Microsoft Teams app for personal and work accounts. This long-awaited update will allow users to switch seamlessly between personal, work, and education accounts in one app. The improved interface is available now for Windows and Mac users without the need for multiple installations.
Previously, if someone wanted to access Microsoft Teams for personal usage and work or school, they had to download two different instances of Teams applications. It became confusing and frustrating at times, especially when handling the notifications. This new app makes that go awayโit’ll let you log in with both your personal and work accounts and use them side by side.
Besides switching accounts, the updated app also bolsters the notification system. A user should now find it much easier to tell to which account a notification belongs, improving overall usability. Microsoft also added guest access without requiring a sign-in, making it more flexible for various needs.
The new unified Microsoft Teams app has been in testing for much of this year. Microsoft wants to make the user experience smoother and more cohesive with this update. Deployment is done automatically for existing users on Windows and Mac.
If you haven’t updated yet, the new app is now available for download on Microsoft’s official site. This update establishes a huge enhancement in handling multiple Teams accounts, simplifying daily tasks for millions of users.
