Re: Problems connecting as a guest to teams meeting
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
AdamThank you adam deltinger I do not always have the external people's email address I want to invite to the call , sometimes I have only a mobile phone number.
What problems can there be when copying the meeting link to the WhatsApp web ?

- Oh! And since they are not invited make sure to enable anonymous access in the teams meeting settings!!
