The bottom line
Teams account switching is fine if you occasionally check a second account and do not mind missing notifications while you are signed into a different one. It is built-in, free, and covers the full Teams feature set including channels and meetings.
TeamGroup is for people who need real-time awareness across every account simultaneously. If missing a message from any tenant has consequences — for MSPs, consultants, multi-org professionals — the unified inbox and cross-account notifications eliminate blind spots that switching cannot.

See the difference yourself
TeamGroup is free for one account. Connect a second account with Pro to experience the unified inbox. If it is not for you, disconnect your accounts and your data is deleted.
