External Sharing to Non-Microsoft accounts
Could you confirm how to share a sharepoint with external email addresses without them having to create a microsoft account? I'm trying to set up a transition sharepoint for our new students and parents to access - as we can't do a physical transition in Covid-19 times!
I've tested this to my personal email and the link says I need to create a Microsoft account?
Appreciate the help!
MicrosoftHi Simon_Goodall,
If you are sharing the entire site, today, the recipients will need to have Microsoft accounts to be able to access. If you enable the new Azure B2B Integration though, it will change the recipient experience to use the new Azure One-Time Passcode flow where a Microsoft is not required. The feature is in preview right now but is expected to go to general release later this year. Hope that helps!

Many thanks StephenRice - would this passcode come through to a mobile phone or email address?
is there no way to share the SharePoint so that parents can access this page - read only - like a webpage?
