Sign out or remove an account from Microsoft Teams

Sign out of Teams

In Windows, macOS, or a web browser version of Teams, select your profile picture at the top of the app and then select Sign out.

You can sign in again using the same account or a different one.

Notes: 

  • When you sign out of Teams on any device, info associated with your account is removed from the Teams app until you sign in again. However, other apps that you use will continue to have access to your account.

  • Signing out of Teams on one device doesn’t sign you out of Teams on your other devices.
