How do you access resources as a guest in a tenant?

We are doing some testing to allow some guest devs in our tenant and while I can do the invite and gain access when I close the browser and log back in using the email address I was invited from I only see my own 365 portal and clicking my photo in the upper right does not offer a way to switch tenants or access the guest tenant. I can copy and paste the link from the invite to gain access again but this really is not ideal. How should this work? What's the special magic so I'm accessing the company data as a guest and not my own 365 portal? Eventually we need to grant dynamics access which will probably prove even more fun.

There's no special magic, the experience will depend on the app. In most cases, don't expect to see an "account picker" control, instead you will use direct links received via email/chat. You can also use the https://myapplications.microsoft.com/ page to switch organizations, view assigned apps and groups, etc.

I found the myapplications page kind of by accident but it was completely blank for my test user even though I had assigned it licenses (for dynamics). Even then it will not let me sign into myapplications as my guest user it tells me i cannot login login here with a personal account and this account has accepted and logged in (and been on the myapplications page) already. This is the part that confuses me more than anything. How do i use this account to login and gain access again? Having apps show up would be the next goal of course :)

By personal account do you mean MicrosoftID (outlook.com)? Those aren't supported for such scenarios afaik.

using a live id account that is not associated with a business tenant and that was sent and accepted the invite and can login using the provided invite link but not directly.

I did talk to the devs today and they pointed me at the .crm.dynamics.com url they are using and it appears they have access now so I might be on my way. Still confused why I can't login to the portal as my guest account directly but that's not really a dynamics thing.
