OVERVIEW
Many departments on campus will access and manage secondary accounts for departmental messaging and collaboration purposes. Students and employees may also have other Office 365 accounts that they maintain for work or school.
While the simplest option can be to reserve one browser for each separate account, some may not prefer to use different web browsers all of the time.
This page will step through the process to sign into two different O365 accounts on the same computer at the same time through your preferred web browser.
