New Owner of Teams but cannot add members
I was given full ownership of our organization in Teams from an employee who is no longer with the company. When she was owner, she could add our employees as members by inviting them to the organiza...
Okay, so maybe my question needs to be "How do I add people into my organization?"
This is maybe where I'm missing the mark.
All of our team members use Microsoft Outlook and we have the same handle @klout9.co for our emails. When I go to "add a member", it tells me to begin typing in the name of the person to add from your organization or enter an email address to add that person as a guest.
From my phone, the app actually gives me the option to click "Add as member" after typing in the employee's email address but then I get an error message saying "something went wrong, try again later." But I've tried a number of times with no change.
Follow these steps and you should be able to perform what you are looking for....
Configure guest access in the Teams admin center
- Sign in to the Microsoft Teams admin center.
- Select Org-wide settings > Guest access.
- Set Allow guest access in Microsoft Teams to On.
- Under Calling, Meeting, and Messaging, select On or Off for each capability, depending on what you want to allow for guest users.
- Is there a login to access Microsoft Teams Admin Center? I feel like there is something missing from my view of teams that other owners may normally see because it just doesn't make sense why this is so difficult!
