Teams Gains Ability to Start Chat with Email Address
A new Teams feature allows users to initiate chats with any email address. This caused some commotion in the security community, but it’s not that bad. In fact, it’s an extension of existing functionality that allows Teams users to chat with guest accounts. All that’s happening is that initiating a chat causes a new guest account to be created in the tenant, and there’s lots of controls to make sure that guests are controlled. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/10/chat-with-email-address-teams/
External user (without MS account) can't access Azure Portal
Hi Members, I need to provide Azure portal access to few external users. They don't have any Microsoft account but only their company email ids, say email address removed for privacy reasons which are not on Microsoft. When I added them as external user. They received invite and after authentication through one time code received on their emails they were able to login to my apps. But, when they try to login to Azure portal they are getting error message: "We couldn't find an account with that username. Try another, or get a new Microsoft account." Do they need to link/create a new Microsoft account with their existing email id i.e. email address removed for privacy reasons? Or is there any way they can use the existing email id to login to Azure portal without creating/linking Microsoft account? As MyApps access worked for them.
Forms not working in Teams Meetings
We are doing a lot of tutoring vids with partners and customers and therefor would love to use the feedback option which Forms can provide. Unfortunately it still seems that the feature is not fully rolled out or buggy as hell. I'm still getting as a external invited meeting participant (joining via chrome browser) this error message: "This bot is disabled. Contact your IT admin for more information." UPDATE: It's the same error on the Teams desktop client.I can add any external M365 user to a Live event?!
I just tried to add some external users to a Teams Live event and it works just fine. These users are no guests at the Tenant and no federation was negotiated with the domain. Is that a normal behaviour? Why would I create guest users if it's possible without it?
Teams communication with external users
Hi, Is there any reason why there is different between tenants to communicate with them on Teams? It means sometimes when I search for external user in Teams and start to communicate it works, but for some other tenant (other organization) I can find external user but when I start to chat I get error. Both have teams on their organization. Any requirements needs to fix on the other side?

Can someone assist in this?
