Your videos are amazing. Clearly thought through & seem to pre-empt questions as you put yourself in the position of the person watching the video. Thank you.

Great Video... I just asked my guest to verify that they can see my org under their avatar, let's see.. However, is there an explanation as to why I can see them as a guest under > Manage Team > Members and Guests but not able to add them to public channel?

Hello! If i am using my own computer and was added as a guest to organisation, can they track my email or other Microsoft programs such as Word, Exel, Outlook etc ? Do they have access to my private files, for example OneDrive ? In which case it is possible?

[HayatInsight]

there is no option for attachment for guest users kindly advice.

[brianmacleod]

How can you edit guest information? For example, their name as it appears to the rest of the group?

[mendezdrive]

Hello, do guests have access to the Tasks tab/icon in their Teams app?

[wkeyqox]

I've added a quest to my team. In this team we use the app "Planner and to do" to assigns tasks to the different team members, but a quest also has permission to add or delete tasks. Is there a way to only allow people from my own organization to add or delete tasks?

[almathomas]

Is there a way to block my status/availability from an external user.

[ITsPROBOTWNL]

[fathimashazna]

Hi, why some guest users do not appear in Teams search?

[JenniferTan-mz]

What happens if the team channel (created by external organization) that you have already accepted to join as a guest disappear and you no longer can see that channel?

[leslieamangala]

If an important technical guest comes in from another organization and we need to give them full control, how do we make that guest an owner?

[albacan]

Wow, I'll find another video in which they get to the point
