Hi JernejP - I am afraid that won't work on two fronts.

250 licenses is only going to cover you for 1250 Guest users as per the 1:5 ratio. Unless you have more licenses and that is just 250 licensed users for this one Team.

And at present you can only add 10000 users to a single Team.

Hi,

If the guest accounts are actual guest accounts within Azure AD, are you then able to select them? As that way they should essentially be alongside your actual internal Azure AD identities for selection.

I was thinking if you could then add them as Members to the group that backs the Team?

Thanks

HenryPhillipsNimbitech - I tried adding them as guest users, but remembered something. It won't be just 100 users, it will be about 13.000 users in a team with about 250 full-time users. This wouldn't work then, would it?
