Can You Add Members To A Team And Not Generate The 'Welcome To / Intro To Teams' Email?
I'm creating a new Team and I have to add new user to this Team but I don't want that the users receive the welcome email. I had tried to disable this function with a rule filter in Exch...
Hi jcgonzalezmartin, thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I have used this solution, but it doesn't work:
Set-UnifiedGroup MyTeam -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled:$false PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-unifiedGroup | Select-object -Property DisplayName, WelcomeMessageEnabled DisplayName WelcomeMessageEnabled ----------- --------------------- MyTeam False
After this, when I add a new user, this user receive an invitations.
I don't know what can I do to solve this.
I have been speaking with Microsoft Teams Support and this is their reply:
hope my mail meets you well
Thank you for your response.
My understanding from the last mail sent by design it is not possible to restrict the email prompt gotten when a guest user is added to a team or channel, this was designed as a security measure to alert members of the teams just in the event of any security posing issues to the tenant/Organization.

I have found that, if you use PowerShell to add members to the Office 365 Group connected to the Team, it will not send an email...
Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity "<Group Name>" | Add-UnifiedGroupLinks -LinkType Members -Links <emailofmember>
- Just to confirm, this works great as no Teams notification is sent. Definitely agree that MS needs to make a change so these types of notifications can easily be disabled or customized.
Thanks for the tip!
