2. Guest users - Where you type in the email of a person you want to share with and they have to login in some way with Org ID or MSA to see a video.

Yet another core feature not implemented. And one that's been on going for years... We recently moved our company over to the Microsoft eco system and every day I coming across core (obvious) feature missing, and every day I regret the move more.

If Teams id there to help reduce context switching don't force us external sources to satisfy these core features. Such disappointment.
