Guest Accounts in TEAMS
Hello Everybody,
i have the following question about adding Guests to a TEAMS.
In our Test Teannt we disabeld in Azure that the Users can add Guest Accounts so the Users were not able to send out the invitation Mail to external Users.
We create the Guest Account in Azure and add them to the O365 Group of the TEAMS. After a while, it is depending between 2 and 12 hours, the Guest Account appears in the TEAMS as Guest.
My question is now can we do something in our enviroment that the Guest Account appears directly in the TEAMS or within an hour ? Have someone experience with that?
Thanks for help.

- Add the Guest account through Azure, then if you have guests set to only allow existing guests to be added, you should be able to allow them to be added in Teams without them being able to add new guests.
The setting is under:
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Settings > Security & privacy.
In Sharing, select Edit.
Set Let users add new guests to this organization to On, and then click Save.
This I believe should allow it so users cannot add new guests. This way you can control guests that get added, but they can still add existing ones to their Teams.

- Add the guest via the Teams client! Type the full address in the add member section in any Team and an invitation will be sent out!
thanks for the reply but we don't want that the user add Guests to the TEAMS. We want to do this from IT side because we want an overview and Lifecycle about the Guest Accounts. That's why we add the User in Azure to the Teams O365 Group. But the replication when the Guest is available in the Teams takes a long time.
