Guest chat in Teams

EDIT - not quite. Seems inconsistent. 2nd time using Edge browser doesnt work. Seems the external user needs to be logged into Teams first, then click the Join link but this time it didnt keep the external user in the lobby, just let them straight in!

EDIT 2 - ok, to stop auto entering meeting, turn off Allow dial in users to bypass lobby, in Meeting Policies in Teams Admin.

Hi all

I think I found a way of doing it, I thik its what you mentioned VasilMichev but do tell me.

• I made the external user a member of the Team (a guest user)
• The guest user received an email saying they have been made a member of the Team
• The guest member has to click on the link in the email and sign into to Teams using their email (Hotmail accounts log in with password, all other emails receive a one time code)
• When the eternal user receives a meeting request, they click on the Join Teams Meeting link in the email, and it opens up the Teams desktop app with them already logged in
• The chat function is available.
