Adding guest user in Teams
I would like to add a guest user to my team in Teams. The invite was already sent to the guest user which was accepted by the user and even the user was successfully created in AAD. But when I try to add the user in Teams App using the "Add Member" dialog, it's not able to locate the guest. I checked the Teams admin setting in o365 portal and all settings related to guest user access have been enabled. What could be the problem?
Ironically, I was able to successfully add the guest to my team from the O365 admin portal, but that's not showing up in my Teams desktop app under the member list in the respective team. I'm very confused about this behavior.
Hi eynarain,
Hope you well.
maybe this article might help: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/guest-joins

Jabulani_15 Thanks for the response. I did read the documentation you pointed to and already have that all done. In any case I finally managed to get this done, though I still have issues.
1. I'm still not able to add the guest from Teams App. I have to always add it through the admin portal. Is this an expected behavior?
2. It takes a while (a few hours) for the guest to appear in member list of Teams app after adding it in the portal. Is this also a known behavior?
- 1. It’s Probabaly a configuration thing or a need to just wait longer thing. Guest access in teams takes awhile to kick In to the client. Give it 24 hours and see if it still persists.
