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:
Second you can invite any address as a guest to your team! Including a gmail
These two are completely different things though..meetings and guests
Seems your org switched over to teams so you have to talk to your admins about this
I cannot send an invite via Meetings to gmail. I cannot add gmail users to the team.
I tracked it down to this, and now have to open a ticket with Microsoft to get changed.
Org-Wide settings - Teams Upgrade - Coexistance Mode
I am the Admin. This was an auto upgrade by Microsoft that wasn't initiated by me.
screenshots attached - External access enabled.
- External access and guests is not the same!
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/guest-access-checklistSorry my wording was wrong, Guest access is all confirmed as well using the doc you linked.
Still cant invite a gmail user to meetings nor add a gmail user to a team
I really would like to go back to Skype if Coexistance Mode wasnt hard set by Microsoft.
- Keep in mind it can take up to 24 hours til guest access gets propagated!
Have you turn it on in all places necessary?
Also adding any mail address to a meeting shouldn’t be a problem! Can you send a picture?
