If you’re like us, you’re probably juggling multiple accounts like a circus performer—one minute you’re chatting with coworkers, the next you’re organizing the school’s fall fundraiser. We all know how big teams is in the enterprise market but we know microsoft is hoping to make communication inroads with non-profits, and with folks not on a business plan. Microsoft just made that a bit easier by rolling out their new unified Teams app for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Mac. Now, all your work, personal, and education accounts are under one roof. If you didn't use Teams in your personal life, you do not have to worry about that second weird Teams App that would pop up from time to time. 

Switching Between Profiles: It’s as Easy as Pie

With the new Teams app, flipping between accounts is as easy as grabbing that third cup of coffee (no judgment here). Just click your profile picture in the upper right corner, and voila! You can select whichever account suits your mood—or your meeting. Whether you’re discussing the quarterly sales report or debating who has the best fantasy football team, you’re just a click away from seamless communication.

We gave it a test run on macOS, and we're happy to report that the switcheroo between profiles worked like a charm. It will be very familiar to anyone that has used a modern application that allows multiple profiles or accounts. You add your account, sign in, and now you can move between the two or more accounts. 

The Good, the Bad, and the "Come on, Microsoft!"

But, let’s be real for a minute. Not everything is rainbows and unicorns. If you log into your personal Teams account with a free plan, you might notice that some features are… well, missing. We love the idea of Microsoft giving us one app to rule them all, but we really wish they’d include some of the paid features on the free version of teams. How cool would it be if they included API support for our customers on those free accounts. It’s like getting an ice cream cone but without the toppings—still good, but missing that extra something. 

MuteMe & Teams: Where We Stand

Here’s where we come in. We fully support this new version of Teams for all paid accounts. Our integration with Teams is solid, allowing you to control your mute/unmute status with ease, just like you’ve always done. However, if you’re using a free Teams account, you might find that since we support teams via the API the two way sync would be unavailable since the free accounts do not have the API support. That being said, we’re working hard on it, though and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to restore support for free accounts in the near future.

We’re Listening and Microsoft does too!

We know how important it is to have seamless integration, whether you’re in a high-stakes business meeting or just chatting with friends. If you run into any issues, our support team is here to help. Plus, we’d love to hear your thoughts! Share your experience with us through our chat feature—we’re always looking for ways to make MuteMe even better. If you’re as eager as we are to see full API support for free Teams accounts, let Microsoft know! Your voice can make a difference.

In the meantime, go ahead and enjoy the new unified Teams app. Just remember: MuteMe has your back, whether you’re at work, at home, or somewhere in between.
