Invite new team member from outside organization and no 365 account
- Jul 19, 2020
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.
@ 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?

Andrew HodgesThanks much for replying. Yes I get that, I hadn't noticed this was Community Support. This paerticular Teams is "freemium" so I have no Admin Portal, so I guess that NO "freemium" Teams will ever have Guests tho the Team and Channel settings include the Guests settings. My own O365 is Bus Premium so I can adjust that one and do see the controls. Thanks!

Hi brianmcelroysorg It might help for you to see a comparison of features between the free version and the paid version of Teams: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/differences-between-microsoft-teams-and-microsoft-teams-free-0b69cf39-eb52-49af-b255-60d46fdf8a9c
Other resources online talk about guest access in free Teams.
