External Users as Co-Organizers
Is there any word on allowing External Participants/Users to be Co-Organizers on a teams session? We’re a B2B company that runs a high volume of corporate trainings for clients, and the inability...
JBeales I have exactly the same problem.
We need to handle breakout rooms while training and facilitating as guest users on someone else's tenant. They don't want their users made guest users on our tenant for security reasons.
Teams does not seem to accommodate this. The only alternative is for the client to purchase an additional license which is superfluous, because we are already licensed. So duplicate licenses, just to have breakout rooms.
Hard to believe that Microsoft hasn't encountered this problem before.
Morne_Mail Honestly, I feel like it's the entire Training, Learning, Development and Coaching space that's encountering this problem.
Microsoft Teams has come to supplant a lot of the virtual platform options because of cost for these corporate clients, but Microsoft's failure to address the functionality of external parties in Teams sessions has meant that it's creating a real issue for the industry as a whole. It's also the reason why we actively encourage our clients to consider other platforms for L&D activities.
I wish someone from Microsoft would acknowledge and respond to these concerns. For a platform which is meant to provide collaboration and correspondence for working teams, having the functionality effectively end Outside of the Organizaiton is a critical shortfall.
