How to change Nearby Share account on Windows 11?

While setting up nearby share on windows 11, I couldn't change the account & it chose my school's account. Not finding anyway to change in the setup, I rolled with it thinking I would be able to change it afterwards. Unfortunately, I don't see anyway to change account used for nearby share. Which makes it unusable without my primary account. Does anyone know how to change nearby share account?
