Invite new team member from outside organization and no 365 account

My MS Teams works from a 365 account.   I want to create a team and invite a new member who neither has a 365 account nor is part of my organization, but who has the Teams Windows app installed...

    Hi brianmcelroysorg ,

     

    This is a community forum so 99 out of 100 posts Microsoft do not reply. If you need support you can raise a ticket in your Microsoft 365 Admin centre.

     

    All team members need to be licensed in Microsoft 365. If they do not have a license then they are classed as guest users.  All users in external orgs are classed as guest users.

If you have typed the full email in and are getting that message guest access may be set to off in the Teams Admin centre, worth checking that before anything else.

@ don't know why this Post has had no MS reply? The one reply misses what I believe Poster was asking and is also my inquiry: how to add TEAM MEMBER (not guest) to a Team without an O365 account, and not in your own org?
