Work with external guests

Guests have similar capabilities to team members and can participate in meetings, chats, and work on documents.

1. Select Teams  in Teams.

2. In a team, select View people, agents, and bots   > See all.

3. Select Add member  .

4. Enter the guest's email. You can add as many guests as you need.

   • If needed, it's best to change their display name now.

5. When ready, select Send request and guests will receive an email invitation they need to accept to begin.

A guest will have the label "Guest" attached to their name in Microsoft Teams. You can also check the top of any channel to see how many guests are in it. 

To share files, use the Shared tab and folders. Document links may not work with guests.
