Add external user to a Microsoft Team unable to do this
I have created a new Microsoft Teams using the admin center:-
where a new sharepoint site has been created and its external sharing setting will be as follow:-
so now i want to share the MS Teams with external users to allow them to use the sharepoint site which got created and other Teams components. now i went to the office 365 >> i tried to share the office 365 group with external user using his gmail account, but i got this error:-
also i went to the MS Team >> Add Members, but i got this error:-
similarly i tried adding the external user from sharepoint >> site permission >> Invite people >> "add members to group" :-
but i got this error:-
the only thing i can do is to share the sharepoint site itself with external users,, but i can not add external to office 365 or MS teams .. so can anyone advice on this? seems there is a sharing settings for office 365/MS Team i am missing??
- I can’t actually see the screens but my guess is that guest access on office 365 groups and/or teams is disabled:
Please go through this doc:

Make sure to enable guest access for office 365 groups in the admin portal - services and add-ins - groups- john johnSteel Contributor

but not sure why i am unable to add external users to the new MS-Team/Office-365?

i have this already enabled as follow:-
one important question, so the sharing settings for the office 365 groups can only be enabled/disabled on the office 365 level and not on each office 365 group level (as in sharepoint sites case)? so we whether allow external sharing on all our office 365 groups or we disable on all?
