Hi @ShafqatR

Unfortunately, there is none. Skype for Business and Teams doesn't interact in that way.

That guest user will need to log into your tenant to work in your Team.

The only way Skype for Business or Skype can communicate with Teams is through federated chat via the Teams Chat App. Is it private chat and not to do with the Teams themselves

Hope that answers your question

Best, Chris
