External (guest) users can no longer be added to a Team and previous external users removed!

Please help me, I'm tearing my hair out!   We have turned on and allowed guest user access for Microsoft Teams and all has been working great for well over a year now but all of a sudden on the 6th...

    Hi all,

     

    Everyone in my team is completely stumped! We haven't changed any settings, nothing was turned off or on and all of a sudden on Tuesday everything started working again and existing teams where people were auto removed, were automatically re-added! It's a strange one!

     

     

     

    I have a feeling it could be the PowerShell thing I did first and I was just impatient but I honestly couldn't tell you.

     

    Thanks all.

daviesollie I turned on Guest Access last week, having previously been able to add individuals and then this week am now having this issue too. I have found that you can now only add them if the guests are in an Office365 Group. I created a group in the MS X Admin Centre for my Guests previously so they could also access Planner as well as Teams, which is how I discovered this. See:

 

 

Here is group:
