Cannot add any members to teams
I have the same problem as Richard. Is it necessary for me as MS Teams host or external team members to have a licence for MS Exchange? Although I don't use Exchange, I have a licence for it as part of my Office 365 licence. I think some of my external people I wish to communicate with through MS Teams don't.
I have tried adding several people to a team. Finally this afternoon I managed to add one but when I tried to send a message, it failed.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Paul
Someone has pointed me in the right direction now and the problem seems to be rectified now. Basically, in the Microsoft Teams admin centre (which I didn't even know existed!), I hadn't enabled guest access.
Follow this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/set-up-guests
I had to gain access to the admin centre via a slightly different route, but once I'd switched guest access on, it all seemed to be resolved.
Also, for anyone who doesn't have Teams or operate MS systems, someone pointed me towards a useful YouTube clip; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jttv8rehL_Q
Hope this helps for you - it did the trick for me....
Cheers,
Richard
didn't work for us, after we did the initial invite to people inside and outside the organization it no longer lets us ad additional people. I'm the admin, everything that needs turned on is on, or the initial invite to guest, wouldn't have worked. now it won't let us invite internal or guest users, like you said, this should be this complicated, where one thing works for one person but not for another. but then again that's MS for you.
