Problems connecting as a guest to teams meeting
Hello I sent a joining code to a meeting at Teams via WhatsApp to a guest outside my organization and he is unable to log in with this link from his mobile phone . The guest does not have the Teams ...
Thank you Henry for your answer.
My question is about a scheduled meeting from the calendar and not from a Team or channel. The link to the meeting is copied from the meeting.
Our goal as IT is to define the organizational teams blocking the possibility of add guests to a team os channel without our approving , but to allow guests to be added freely to meetings.
Do you know what the problem might be?
Thanks

Hi! Let’s separate guests and external users first. Guests are actual members of a Team, having access to channels, files, chat etc including the possibility to join meetings as that invited guest.
An external user is just someone that gets invited to a teams meeting. You can invite an external to a meeting by entering their email address when setting up the meeting. It won’t make the guests or anything.
I’d suggest you just enter the external peoples email addresses in the meeting from outlook itself.
There might have been a copy/paste issue when you did this before to WhatsApp. By doing my suggestion they will get it by mail and in their calendar
