I am having the same issue. I have recently joined a project and I was invited to several channels for the new project in another organization, I don't see anything unless I switch the organization, but then I miss the notification from my own organization.
I have been surfing the web for a solution, but nothing works. It seems that the "CustomProfiles" aren't there anylong.
I played around with this again. Script still works for Teams Classic. The "New Teams" is a UWP app and I didn't find a way to open a second window.
As an alternative you can create multiple profiles in Firefox or Chrome and open a Teams instance in each browser instance

Hi @Sudipkumarc
You are right that the new version can handle several logins, as was the old version of teams. I believe that this script was created in order to have several accounts open at any given time.
As @sebastienbo states, it is not possible to look in both accounts simultaneously, and hence this annoying feature has been reintroduced by MS.
Has anyone found a method for running more than 1 instance of the teams app simultaneously?
