Sign out of Teams
There are times when it might be necessary to log out of Teams and sign into another account in order to use another account or for some other reason, despite the fact that you should stay signed in in order to receive chats, notifications, incoming calls, and other activities.
Depending on your setup, you won’t be able to sign out of Teams if you are using the Windows, macOS, or your web browser version of Teams, which will include your profile picture.
I would recommend you sign in with a new account or sign in with the same one again.
