How do I videochat with an external guest user
If you only want to have a videochat with them, then schedule a meeting. They don't need a Teams acocunt, they can join the meeting anonymously using the web application in a web browser.
If you want to collaborate with them, share files etc. create a team in Teams and invite them as guests.
Thanks. That helps a lot!
I was aware of the file sharing part. I didn't know you had to invite a person to videochat with him, since we would just call each other up.
As far as I understand it, you can not just call a guest user up (and vica versa)... they need to be invited to a meeting and it needs to be initiated by the person with the licensed office 365 account?
You can call a guest with an private call, if it is not disabled by administrators in your tenant. But they have to be signed in to your tenant in Teams.
