Hi Sahil, I have a question:
after successfully adding an external user ("EXT") to my test group, he receive in his inbox (gmail in the case) the invitation to join.
Clicking, it he is prompted to MS account page to create (or use) a MS account.
After logging into the group he sees on the left only links to:
1) files
2) one note
Why even CONVERSATIONS are not listed ?
I can't understand....EXT can see conversations in his gmail inbox and not here ?! why ??
Also CALENDAR and PLANNER are not accessible (we knew it, see FAQ https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Guest-access-in-Office-365-Groups-bfc7a840-868f-4fd6-a390-f347bf51aff6), but what a pity, in particular for calendar !
Is this expected, or my tenant is getting crazy ?
Is there a way to guarantee to EXT user a complete experience with groups like tenant users ? WIN 10 desktop/android APPs , or an ONLINE plan is foresee ?
In Sharepoint the procedure to add EXT was a little bit complex, but at the end they got same interface and services like tenant users.
Kindest regards.
Stefano

Thanks Stefano! Glad to know Guest access is working on your tenant.
For the items conversations, Calendar, Mobile App & Planner all of these items are in road-map.But I would love to hear your use-case & scenarios that you have with guests so that we can incorporate in our planning. Lets sync-up offline to take this discussion ahead.
