Guest user access to Group conversations
Guest members of Office 365 Groups cannot directly access Group conversations because they cannot access EOL resources without a license.
Nevertheless, they can participate in conversations by email, meaning that they should receive an email for every post and they can post by email.
If this does not happen, see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Guest-doesn-t-receive-group-email-conversations-b9891873-c33c-415a-8751-66a64d17f06c?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

- Salvatore is correct!
Thanks for the info, Salvatore! That is very unfortunate as that gaping design flaw makes the conversations feature near worthless. If you have any external users, why not just scrap teams and use regular old email? I hope they either fix this flaw soon or my clients and company switch over to Slack.
Hi Dan, Teams now fully support guest users, therefore overcoming Outlook Group conversation shortcomings. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/Collaborate-securely-with-anyone-in-Microsoft-Teams/ba-p/165941
So, no need to switch to Slack. ;-)
