Thank you for a very comprehensive video! Do you know if it is possible to add an external user as a "member" or "Owner"? Or can they only be added as "Guest"? Being a "Guest" on a team can be very tedious for users that need to access Teams on multiple tenants because then I always have to switch between tenants, instead of having access to all my teams from the same tenant.

Hello Greg, I just saw the Migration Project on the left sidebar of your Teams window and was curios to ask you which tenant-to-tenant Microsoft Teams migration tool is the best in your opinion? Thanks for the video, that was really helpful!!!

I have done this many times, but what drives me crazy is the inability to add external users in bulk. Typing in email addresses one at a time is nuts. I often want to have a meeting with many external users that I have their email addresses listed in a document like a spreadsheet. But asking me to type in addresses one at a time is just too much to ask.
Have you had this frustration, or is it just me?

You should cover common mistakes errors and the assocaited error messages and how to resolve the problem

Time 1:06 - the Guest access is now under User - the Org-wide settings menu is gone.

I like to have guest users full name associated with their email address. I have been adding guest users through azure active directory to do this. It there a way to enter full name for guest inside Teams app?

[eamonhannon]

Do you have to have a team setup first before you can invite an external user to a meeting ?

Hello, after connecting to Microsoft teams is there any possibility that tasks created in gmail account can be shared or shown in the microsoft teams???

[Siberian_valenok]

Can the external guest users add other external users? For example, I create a channel for a company, add one person to it and want him/her add his colleagues?

[davidtrevor]

Guest access is on but I cannot add external members? I paste the email address but I cannot press Add. It just shows "We can't find any team members to add" for me :(

[MilenaHirkala]

thank you - but can I add a guest to the schedule? it doesn't work for me, thank you

[eamonhannon]

I am new to MS Teams . Why do get the following message when I try to invite an external attendee to a scheduled meeting "No results found. Check spelling or try another name" No results found where ?

[kamleshchandnani]

Can the external user see other guests who are part of that team?

[onemprod]

Is there a way to invite guests in the Teams Admin Center, without having to tell a Team Owner to do it?

[pexeixv]

Does the IT know that I have invited external people to a meeting?

[lilcas]

Can they make calls? it's not working for me

[circuitdotlt]

org-wide settings is missing in my case. I'm admin. This is so frustrating.

[andrewsullivan]

Does the external user need a premium account?

[mudgerman]

i add a guest but when they open teams they see no file or anything.

The "team" at TEAMS needs to fix their email invites. They don't specify what timezone the meeting invite is for. MAJOR problem. So the app tries to guess what timezone each person is on, and it taylors it to that person. So invites look different for different timezones. But it guesses WRONG, so you will get a time, but no timezone. This causes major confusion and people showing up and hour early or an hour late for a meeting. So all this talking about TEAMS is really worthless until we solve the problem of knowing what time a meeting actually starts!
Make sure you manually type in the meeting time into your invite, with the timezone, so people can attend.
