Microsoft Teams: Teams Connect chat enhancements

Originally posted by Microsoft Jun 7, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

IT admins will be able to add external partners with phone-based Teams accounts not managed by an organization to their organization’s extended directory. These external users can have a company curated user profile including location and job role. Users in the organization, who are enabled for Teams external access, can search for these external users by name and establish 1:1 or group chats, just like they do with internal users.
