Announcing account switching for Microsoft 365 web apps!
Howdy folks,
Today, I’m excited to announce account switching for Microsoft 365 web apps! You’ve told us what a pain it was, so now the days of signing out just to sign back in are over. With a single click, you can switch between multiple Azure Active Directory accounts, multiple Microsoft accounts, or any combination of the two.

You can try the account switching feature for yourself on Microsoft 365 web apps, including Office.com, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on the web, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint. If you’d like to read more about the account switching feature, check out the detailed blog post by our friends on the Microsoft 365 team.
Single click account switching is also available in Office desktop apps today, with more apps across desktop and mobile coming in the near future, including Teams!
As always, we’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have. Please let us know what you think in the comments below or on the Azure AD feedback forum.
Best regards,
