Guest access to personal apps/tabs
As an administrator I can install and pin default personal tabs for all users in my tenant. I hoped I could pin a custom personal app for guests as well, but these dont show up. So I searched for some information whether this is possible or not. It's clear that guests can not add and install apps on their own, but I found no clear information if it is possible for the admin to add apps for the guests. I found this comparison of tenant members and guests in Teams, but it only mentions that Guests can't add tabs on their own, but nothing about using apps someone else has added. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/guest-experience#comparison-of-team-member-and-guest-capabilities Then I found was this site in the docs, but I just don't understand what it's trying to say. So I hope someone could clarify this and explain to me in simple words what is possible and what not regarding custom apps for guest users. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/non-standard-users There it says: Guests can't install, update, or delete apps into a shared context, such as a chat, channel, or meeting, but they can to their personal scope using message extensions and direct links. ---So what does "their personal scope" mean and what kind of direct links? Links to what? Guests don't have access to the Teams app store from the Teams desktop application, ... ---If the docs explicitly mentions "don't have access...from the Teams desktop application" then shouldnt it be different in the webapp or on mobile? ...but they can access it with a direct link. ---and again: What direct link? And what can they actually do with the link? And last but not least, my general question: What kind of apps can be made accessible to and used with guest users in Teams?

Guest cannot chat in Teams Channel meetings
If we create a Teams channel meeting, and a guest join with a "join url" to the meeting who is not a member of the Teams channel, the guest cannot see the chat (they can however share screen, voice, raise hand). Is it possible to enable the chat for the guest for a Teams channel meeting, without adding them as member of the Teams channel? If not, is it possible to enable a "Q&A session" in the meeting?

Misleading Error Message 53004
I wanted to document an issue I have spent a few months on (off and on) in hopes that the error messaging might be improved. The use case is that I can sign-in to Teams however, when I tried to switch orgs (guest access), I am seeing a "Your sign-in was blocked" error message on the screen with a body of, "We've detected something unusual about this sign-in."... I received the same experience when using the web app or the Teams client as well as both at work and at home. When I went into Azure, the failed authentication event said (example pasted at the bottom.) The actual issue was that there was an old unaddressed risky sign-in event that was never dismissed after it was addressed in August. Of course there is a business process gap however, if the both the user facing message and the Azure failed sign-in event had pointed me in the risky sign-in direction instead of an incomplete MFA registration I would have spent considerably less time trying to resolve this issue. I understand if this post needs to be redirected to a different group but I wanted to start by documenting it here to hopefully save someone else from burning their time and MS premier (though I did not actually find the resolution as a result of that ticket) hours on this.
