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??How can we know which email address the external user used to register inside the office 365
From time to time we received many emails from external users that they received the following error when they try to sign-in to our sharepoint sites:- but when i check their usernames i can see that they are already registered as guest accounts + they are added inside some sharepoint groups (which we shared with them). based on my reading, that this problem can happen if the external user register with an account different from the account we shared the sites with. for example i might share a site with new external user using his ***@gmail.com but when the user receive the invitation email, he might used his **@hotmail.com account. now for us to be able to identify if this is the case, then how we can know which account the user used to register inside our tenant. For example when i access Office 365 admin >> Users >> Guests >> i will get the external user account as follow "externalemail_gmail.com#EXT#@ourtenant.com",, so can we be sure that the user used his gmail account to access our tenant? or the above email externalemail_gmail.com refer to the email which the invitation was sent to (regardless if this email was used to register)?
Why cant i share files in an external chat?
I am the admin for our company, and we allow external chats without issues. Where we are having problems, is we cannot share any files/images with those external users, and there is no setting i can find to allow this? This seems like an extremely basic feature to exclude. If i had the option to quickly change between accounts/companies i would do that, but Teams doesnt allow that either...

Can anyone help me out?Users cannot see [External] tag in OWA and Outlook Conversation View
There are multiple ways to add [External] tag to emails received from outside the organization. O365 users can use the Native [External] tag in Office 365. You can apply [External] tag using transport rule in Exchange and Office 365. You can also set up [External] tag using rules in your third-party gateway. Exchange Team has already covered the first two options in their blog Native external sender callouts on email in Outlook. In this post I just wanted to talk about an intermittent issue where [External] tags behave differently for different emails. For example, You have 2 emails with [External] tag in the subject. When you reply to the first email you see the tag replaced with RE: and when you reply to the second email the tag is appended with RE: [EXTERNAL]. When you enable conversation view in Outlook or OWA you don’t see the [External] tag in the message preview for some emails, while it still shows for some other emails. But when you double click on either of the two emails the tag can be seen in the Subject line. The underlying cause for the issue lies in the MAPI properties of the email and the mechanism used to add the tag. There is one major difference between the Conversation View and Normal View. In normal view, the message preview displays the value in the MAPI property PR_SUBJECT. However, when we see the email in conversation view the message preview displays another MAPI property “PR_CONVERSATION_TOPIC” and that’s why in most cases you will not see the external tag. You can check these properties using MFC MAPI. In OWA, Conversation View is set by default, and you won’t see External tag in the message preview. You can click on Settings and change the view. A message store provider has the option of assuring that “PR_CONVERSATION_TOPIC” property is always set on incoming or outgoing messages. If these properties are already set, they should not be altered. If not, they can be set to PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT. So “PR_CONVERSATION_TOPIC” gets the value from “PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT” Now let’s find why is the value in “PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT” and PR_SUBJECT different? First Scenario: If the PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is present and is an initial substring of PR_SUBJECT. In that case PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT and associated properties are set to the contents of PR_SUBJECT with the prefix removed. For First Scenario it is straight forward, as the PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX property was set explicitly, the string can be of any length and use any alphanumeric characters, but it must match a substring at the beginning of the PR_SUBJECT property. Here “External” will be removed from Subject when setting the value for “PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT” PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is External: PR_SUBJECT is External: This is an Important Email PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT is This is an Important Email PR_CONVERSATION_TOPIC is This is an Important Email If this is the case with an email, it will not display External tag in message preview and when you reply to this email it will change the tag from External: to Re: Second Scenario: If the PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is present, but it is not an initial substring of PR_SUBJECT, PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is deleted and recalculated from PR_SUBJECT. Third Scenario: If PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is not present, it is calculated from PR_SUBJECT In Second and Third Scenario, the property PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is not set or needs to be recalculated. The rule for computing the prefix is that PR_SUBJECT must begin with one, two, or three letters (alphabetic only) followed by a colon and a space. If such a substring is found at the beginning of PR_SUBJECT, it is then added to PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX. Otherwise, PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX property remains unset. By design if store must calculate or recalculate the value of PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX then it will fail to calculate [External] as it is more than 3 alphabets long. This means PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX property will remain unset PR_SUBJECT_PREFIX is PR_SUBJECT is External: This is an Important Email PR_NORMALIZED_SUBJECT is External: This is an Important Email PR_CONVERSATION_TOPIC is External: This is an Important Email If this is the case with an email, it will display External tag in message preview because it is now the subject itself and when you reply to this email it will change the tag from External: to RE: [EXTERNAL]. Now that you understand when and why will you experience this problem you can circle back to tagging rule to fix this. You can check the protocol logs to find why the two emails were processed differently. This can happen either due to conflicting rule or if the tagging rule modifies Thread-Topic and Subject headers differently.
Add Site Link to External Users myapplications.microsoft.com
Hi, I'm wanting to add a simple Site Link to the myapplications.microsoft.com landing site for External Users. When an external user accepts an invitation the process ends with them reaching https://myapplications.microsoft.com/ which is just a mostly blank page. Is there a way to pre-populate the page with link to the Site that the external user has access to? Or I'd even settle for changing the landing page the external user ends on. Is that possible and how?Download highest quality of Stream video
I was wondering if anyone has seen this behavior before. When watching a Stream video (a recording of a meeting) in the browser, the quality is great and there is no lag between audio and video. However, when I try to download the video, the quality of the downloaded version appears to be worse than the browser version's quality. The only reason that this is especially frustrating is that Stream does not yet support external sharing of videos, so a video that we have made for some external partners must be downloaded and shared. The quality of the downloaded video does not look great and is not up to the quality that we would want to share with external users. To my understanding, videos in Stream are transcoded into several different quality formats, so is there any way to export the highest quality encoded version?
No external communication with Teams when SipProxyAddress is missing?
Hi, I am a little bit confused. I have a customer where external communication (with other O365 tenants) worked without problems. Since a few weeks most of the users are not able to do this. When you want to send a message to a user of the customer Teams says "mailadress not found" (i dont know the exactly sentence in english because i just know it in german). I find out that these users do not have the attribute SipProxyAddress in Azure AD. Some users of the customers have, most of them does not have it anymore. I can add a SIP: entry in proxyaddresses on prem to get this done or enable the skype for business online license. But how is it supposed to be right now? Was there a change that every Teams users needs a Skype for Business Online license to get a SipProxyAddress to communicate externally? Kind regards Patrick
