Microsoft Teams is where a great deal of corporate work now happens, and for plenty of people it is not one Teams but several: your own organisation, a client's tenant you have been added to as a guest, maybe a project that lives in its own Microsoft 365 environment. The official Teams app has long made running more than one tenant at once a chore. Franz runs Microsoft Teams as a clean service tab next to every other tool you use, so the whole spread of your conversations lives in a single window.
Multiple Microsoft Teams tenants at once
Guest access scatters you across organisations, and the standard Teams client makes hopping between them slow. In Franz you add Microsoft Teams as a tab for each tenant you belong to and stay signed in to all of them simultaneously. Each tab keeps its own session and its own unread badge, so a notification from a client's tenant never gets confused with one from your own company. There is no signing out of one organisation to read another, and no separate browser profile to maintain for each.
Teams notifications you can trust
Microsoft Teams only earns its place if you hear about the chat or mention that needs you. Franz raises native desktop notifications for Teams, including the notification sound, so a direct message or an @mention pulls your attention the same way the standalone client would. The unread badge distinguishes what is genuinely aimed at you from the constant churn of busy channels, and it stays accurate across every tenant you have added. A glance at the sidebar tells you which organisation is actually waiting on you.
Microsoft Teams on Mac, Windows, and Linux
Franz is a native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and Teams behaves the same on all three, which matters because the official Linux support has been a moving target for years. You get consistent notifications, a dock or taskbar badge, and fast tenant switching wherever you work. You keep the full Teams web experience, channels, chats, and meeting links included, with the difference that it is one tab in the window you also use for everything else.
