Hello, For a few years now, an organization has been linked to my account in Teams, but I don’t know how to remove it. Could you please tell me how to do so?

    Dear @Aaaaa

    I recommend using the following steps, depending on the account you use in Teams:

    For a personal Microsoft account:

    1. Open Teams on your computer or browser.
    2. Go to Settings > Accounts and orgs.
    3. Select Leave beside the organization.
    4. Follow the browser prompts and confirm Leave.

    The change can take a few hours. Afterwards, sign out of Teams and sign back in. 

    For a work or school account:

    1. Open My Account — Organizations⁠ and sign in with the account used in Teams.
    2. Find the organization under Other organizations you collaborate with.
    3. Select Leave organization and confirm.

    You cannot leave your Home organization yourself; its administrator must assist. Leaving another organization removes your access to its resources, so save anything you need beforehand

    If Leave is missing or an error appears, please let me know whether you use a personal or work/school account and share the exact error, with personal details hidden.

    If the organization is listed as a guest or external organization, it can usually be removed from the My Account organizations page:

    1. Open My Account.
      • Work or school account: https://myaccount.microsoft.com
      • Personal account or email one-time passcode: use a My Account URL that includes the tenant name or tenant ID.
    2. Select Organizations in the left pane, or select Manage organizations.
    3. Under Other organizations you collaborate with (or Organizations if there is no home organization), find the organization.
    4. Select Leave.
    5. Confirm by selecting Leave again.

    Important details:

    • The Home organization cannot be removed by the account holder. Only an administrator can remove that account from the home organization.
    • If Leave is not available, or a message appears saying permission is required, that organization does not allow self-service removal or the account is disabled. In that case, the organization’s admin or privacy contact must remove the account.
    • In Teams, the same organization management may also be reachable from the profile picture menu through View account > Organizations.
