This question I find really often among Microsoft Teams users. The pain point which I also experienced myself: I have been added to an organization some time ago. I don’t even know how I got there, probably someone added me by mistake. An interesting thing was that I was not able to see any teams in it. I knew no one from that organization who I can contact. I just kept seeing this organization under my Teams profile.
The issue with Organization in Microsoft Teams
As everyone else would have done, I started to search on internet tips, tricks, experiences, guidance how to remove it from my account. I found many people having the same question. The most common answer was that you need to log in to your account and check the organization section. But, when I tried to log in on the provided link, I got the message that I cannot login with a personal account!
And when I tried to log in with my personal account in the browser (the regular way like: outlook.com site and then type in my credentials – this was successful of course) in My Account section I could not see “Organizations” blade.
The solution how to leave Organization in Microsoft Teams
Then, I closed it all and in an incognito browser (since on the same device I use multiple profiles and accounts) I logged in with my private account.
On the second tab, I have added this link My Apps and from the drop down menu on the left hand side, I chose My Account.
Note: This works only if you go through my apps link. If you directly to My Account, then you will get the message that you cannot log in with a private account.
But, once you go through My apps and then My account, now you can see the organizational section. Here with a click you can leave the organization you want:
Once you choose to leave the organization, in approx. 30 minutes this organization will be removed from your Microsoft Teams profile.
Summary
In a couple of words, these are the steps you need to go through:
1: Open incognito browser
2: Open https://myapps.microsoft.com/ and login with the account you want to remove from the organization.
3: From the drop-down list choose My account
4: Click on the Organizations
5: Find the organization you want to leave and click on the Leave link.
