Adding external users to teams
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:
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.
- That is your problem. Non office 365 accounts are not supported yet.
So what they were demoing at Ignite is not currently active but coming? I talked to their engineers at the event booth who told me it was ready to go now? Is there somewhere I can see when this will be active? How would I know?
- I don't think there is an ETA available. You might want to keep an eye on Microsoft teams uservoice an this community site
