After signing in, it is possible to switch accounts by selecting the profile picture in the top right corner. In addition, notifications now clearly indicate which account they belong to, and notifications from personal accounts provide more details to respond directly from the notification banner.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Microsoft-Team-app-unified.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-338904\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams continues to offer users the possibility to connect and work with other people for free, schedule meetings, join communities, and share files, <strong>even as a guest without the need to log in<\/strong>.
