Hi OzOscroft , so in order to allow external users to access a shared channel is always needed to setup a B2B connection? If yes, this is a huge lost of functionallity. Private channels allow it. How it is posssible shared channels that supposedly ara a step foward in terms of collaboration don't allow sharing with externals the same way they allow with private channels. Can't believe it

AX_Rookie exactly. This is just a show stopper as this slows down the process really badly. I have to get the Consult to trust our domain, which takes a few weeks for them to implement after going through their IT approvals, and I need to get our IT to approve their domain, which again takes weeks due to our internal approval processes in place.

    Sorry, just for clarifying. This command
    Set-PnPTenantSite -Url $SiteURL -SharingCapability ExternalUserSharingOnly
    does not work if you does not setup previosly a B2B connection?
    We want at least give access to the shared channel site
