Adding user to a Multivalued person field SPO Powershell

Hi SharePoint Users,

I'm trying to add multiple users to a person field using the code below. I get the error -

Cannot find type [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

I'm using SPO management shell to run the script

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin

 

[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection]$lotsofpeople = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection

$FirstUser =$ClientContext.Web.EnsureUser("i:0#.f|membership|"+ "****@***.com")

$FirstUserValue = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($ClientContext, $FirstUser.Id, $FirstUser.LoginName)

$lotsofpeople.Add($FirstUserValue);


$ListItem["Multivalued"]=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection] $lotsofpeople

$ListItem.Update()

$ClientContext.ExecuteQuery()

      Hi jcgonzalezmartin 

      with the below code. The folder has the 3 Dll's

      $dllDir="D:\SharePointDll"
      try{
      Add-Type -Path ("$dllDir\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll") | Out-Null
      Add-Type -Path ("$dllDir\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll") | Out-Null
      Add-Type -Path ("$dllDir\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.dll")|Out-Null
      }
      catch{
      Log "Error: $($_.Exception.Message) $((get-date -format G))"
      }
