Keeping your account logged in allows you to continue receiving conversations, notifications, incoming calls, and other activities. However, there are situations when you might need to check out of Teams in order to utilize a different account or for some other reason.

How to Sign in/Sign Out of Microsoft Teams

Once you sign out of Teams on any device, any information linked with your account will be erased from the Teams app until such time as you sign back in. However, access to your account will still be granted to other apps that you use. Here are very simple methods of how to sign in or sign out of Microsoft Teams.

Step 1: Select your profile picture

Choose your avatar from the drop-down menu available in the Teams app for Windows, macOS, or any web browser. You’ll find this in the top right corner of the Teams app.
Step 2: Select Sign out

After clicking on your profile picture, a drop-down menu will appear. You can find the Sign out button at the bottom of that window next to “Teams for personal use.”
Step 3: Sign in

You have the option of re-logging in with the same account or switching to a new one. It is important to keep in mind that logging out of Teams on one device will not log you out of Teams on any of your other devices.
