Microsoft Teams could finally be close to getting this super useful feature

The desktop version of Microsoft Teams has a new feature that will allow users to add multiple accounts and manage them without signing in or out. The new feature should be welcomed by employees who have found themselves engaging in a large amount of video conferencing since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. For people who use Teams frequently, it's very likely that they use multiple accounts depending on the clients they work with. Previously, switching accounts required a Teams user to manually sign out before signing back in, resulting in an extremely lengthy process and always more credentials to remember. Now it seems that Microsoft is testing a new feature that will allow Teams users to link accounts with each other, allowing them to switch directly by changing their settings. The ability to switch between accounts is expected to start rolling out later this year or early next year, though trial users can access the feature even earlier.

The new Account Switching update isn't the only new feature coming to Teams. Microsoft has also confirmed that it is testing a feature that will allow users to create custom pages that will allow businesses or educators to build a more cohesive team identity. Invite links have also been improved, and invited users now have access to notes, files, basically anything shared during a call, even after the meeting. The video collaboration space has become increasingly competitive since the COVID-19 pandemic drastically reduced the amount of face-to-face interaction allowed in many countries. Zoom, Google Meet, and Cisco Webex compete with Teams for the best service. The number of users of all these solutions, when they are available, has received a spectacular increase. Via Windows Latest
