Teams - How to add an external Guest to a Team/Channel
Last Updated 3 years ago
Assuming Guest access has not been turned off for the Team, and Team members are allowed to invite Guests, the process is as follows:
As the Team OWNER:
- In the Teams app, select Teams on the left sidebar and go to the team you want to add a guest to.
- Select More options (...) then Add member.
- Enter the guest's email address, then click on Edit guest information to give them a friendly user name.
- Click Add. Your guest will receive a welcome email invitation.
- Guests must have an Office 365 work or school account. If they don't have a Microsoft account associated with their email, they'll be prompted to create one for free.
As the Team OWNER:
- Select Teams on the left side of the app.
- Go to the team name and select More options (...), then Manage team.
- Under Settings, click on Guest permissions, then check or un-check the permissions you want to allow.
