i literally just needed to log in to someone's account once, for an hour, to substitute for them in one call.

I get your frustration, but that's a fucking awful choice for a whole bunch of reasons, not only because of Microsoft's bullshit. You really buried the lede.

Don't share accounts people!

Have them forward you the meeting invite or reach out to the organizer to call you instead.

And if you fucking insist on logging into someone else's account again, use Private Browsing mode and the web client of Teams to keep it from touching the rest of the machine. It works fine for audio and video calls.

At any place with a half decent security policy you'd be looking at disciplinary action. At certain workplaces this would be an immediate firing.

it was a work account used exclusively for teams for online lectures, there was nothing of interest on it, i checked lol, i'm nosy

it was during a time when i was just substituting so i didn't have my own work email, and i ain't joining with my personal one when i need to be professional. after the bullshit with that account getting linked to my local system account i indeed used teams in the browser, i just didn't anticipate microsoft bullshit vol. 2 to hit me months later when i tried to log into my minecraft account and couldn't because my coworkers email got baked into it! but now i know i guess
