Teams app for Free
Hi CatalinStaicuAlex ,
Not being harsh when I say this but you cannot.
That is one of the limitations of the Free version over the version that is bundled as part of an M365 plan.

However having said that you should be able to interact with Guests. So Chat wise you should be able to type in a user of Teams email address and start chatting, provided there Team Org if not using the Free version permits it.
Alternatively you could attempt to add a Guest user by way of adding to a Team and that would kick off more of an invitation process whereby the person you are added should have the option to create a Microsoft account if they do not have one already.
Thanks

Thank you very much for reply.
I think I will tell the Guest users to make an Microsoft account and then I will add them to the team that I will create.

- That should work, but it should be enough to just add them to a Team and it will kick off the invitation process that will cover scenarios where they may not already have a Microsoft account.
Thanks
