Teams to external Teams chat

I want to just chat with another Teams user, in another tenant. How hard can it be? Followed this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/manage-external-access Allowed external acces...

    Hi,

     

    That Island mode makes it messy, you should only use that for a short period for some test users, don't use it in production. Is both domain A and domain B users in Islands mode?

     

    Since the current version of federation is using Skype for Business Online be messy. When a user in domain A initiates a chat to any person in domain B do they get the message in Skype or does it only disappear?

     

    The solution would be to use Teams mode, or maybe some of the Skype Only mode but that can cause other problems when moving from Islands to SfBOnly.
