How do I change the account that my teams defaults to?

Dear @Miko Stefan Angcoy,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, you asked how to make your school account the default in Microsoft Teams instead of your personal account. Microsoft Teams does not have a built-in setting to choose a default account when multiple accounts are signed in. By design, Teams reopens with the account that was active when you last quit the app, not the one you prefer by default

However, here are some workarounds you can try:

For Microsoft Teams:

Sign Out of Your Personal Account:

• Open Microsoft Teams.
• Click on your profile picture (or initials) in the top right corner.
• Select Sign out.

Sign In with Your School Account:

• After signing out, you'll be brought to the sign-in page.
• Enter your school email and follow the prompts to log in.

Clear Teams Cache (if needed):

• Close Teams completely.
• Open File Explorer and go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams.
• Delete all files and folders within this directory.
• Restart Teams and sign in with your school account.

By following these steps, you should be able to use your school account as the default for Microsoft Teams.
