Please, provide a howto on running multiple instances for multiple organizations #1398
Comments
Hi @callegar, thanks for the request. This repository is open for contributions. It would be great if you can try to collate the information on the steps to follow (and/or what parts from the knowledgebase aren't working). Even just the links to the issues, discussions, etc. #438 is still open, but I know there are other tickets/discussions that are relevant to the subject If you join the https://matrix.to/#/#teams-for-linux_community:gitter.im community, other users might be able to help with info and the howto. Then, once that is sorted, either you can put a wee PR into the repo, someone else can do that, or I can update the docs with those findings. And even better, we can see if there is anything we can do to make it even a better experience. At the moment that feature has been mostly lead by the community and I have just been a facilitator, but I do agree it might need some TLC. |
@callegar , are you able to get some time on this? Even just getting the steps you have followed can help. Thanks |
This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 5 days. |
I'll keep that on my radar even if closed. I'll put together something next month if work pressure goes down a bit. |

I would like to see that documented (and I hope my comment clears the stale label)... |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Microsoft teams web edition is not helpful at all when you are in multiple organizations. It does not let you manage the log in via the different accounts gracefully. You can only be logged in on one account at a time. This makes the switch unpractical and makes you loose the notifications from the account you are not logged in to.
This teams for linux application lets you work around the issue by running multiple instances of the application at the same time, each logged in to a different account, which is great.
Unfortunately, the documentation on how to do it is dispersed among the comments in multiple bug reports.
Describe the solution you'd like
Would be great to have a howto file (possibly linked in the main readme) with instructions to follow in order to make the multiple instances work, also answering some questions that the users might have. For instance:
KNOWN_ISSUES.md
file the same thing as the user directory in the--customuserdir
parameter?WM_CLASS
and the--class
parameter? Do they work the same in different desktops (gnome/KDE, etc)?Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A
Additional context
Obviously, there is a risk that once a howto is put together Microsoft will finally fix the management of multiple organizations in the web client making the howto not relevant. But because there is no way to know what Microsoft will do, I think that preparing the howto would be worthy.
