More ways to collaborate seamlessly outside your organization with Microsoft Teams
Being able to effectively collaborate with external partners is now essential to driving positive business outcomes. Read the blog to gain insight on how Microsoft 365 provides multiple options when collaborating with external organizations in Microsoft Teams.
What is Microsoft Teams Connect shared channels?
Microsoft Teams Connect shared channels allow users from different Azure AD organizations to collaborate in a shared workspace. This feature enables seamless communication and collaboration without the need to switch tenants, allowing users to have conversations, schedule meetings, and share files with both internal and external participants.
How does external access work in Microsoft Teams?
External access in Microsoft Teams allows users to communicate with individuals from other organizations. It enables users to see availability, chat, call, and set up meetings with external contacts. Users can easily identify external participants by the (External) label next to their names, and all communications occur within the Teams client without the need to switch organizations.
What is guest access in Microsoft Teams?
Guest access in Microsoft Teams allows external users to be invited into an organization's Azure Active Directory as guests. This provides them with broader access to data and applications beyond just Teams channels. Unlike shared channels, guests need to switch tenants to collaborate, and they can access private channels they are invited to, as well as all standard channels in the team.
