Adding external users to teams
The big "sale" at MS Ignite 2017 for Teams was the ability to add external guests to your team. In session after session this was demonstarted. Even at their booth at the exhibit hall, I went to ask ...
I've started another thread on a particular issue where we have seen inconsistent behaviour when adding guests to the Office 365 Groups with Teams functionality:
- Those teams (groups) created from the "Teams" tile do not send a Guest welcome email to guests added via the email/members conversation area
- Those teams (groups) created from Outlook and then upgraded to have "Teams" DO send a Guest welcome email to guests added via the email/members conversation area
We have guest access enabled for Office 365 Groups but not the Teams front end.
See the full conversation and respond here if interested:
Are your external users office 365 users?
Did you enable guest access?
Did you enable guest access?
No they are not 365 users, but gMail accounts. Which again this was one of the selling features they pitched at Ignite. In the demos they demonstarted with both gMail and Yahoo email accounts.
Yes I did enable guest access via the admin center.
