Improve "add members" to team
You have to add each member one by one in a team. It would be nice if it could be a grouping option to add multiple users with the same type of permissions (as if I insert a list of people with any delimiter, then check for names and click add) or import users from .csv / .xlsx file (users with roles).

Thank you so much for this feedback. I was actually sitting with a user yesterday who was struggling to add users to a channel because she was typing in names one by one, which is a normal inclination. I showed her that she can put any distribution list into the field (for example, all@mycompany.com) and it would invite everyone who is on that email address. Try it out and let me know if you have any more questions. I’ve also routed this feedback to design so they can implement a sign or something to show people that they can do this.
Thank you for helping us make Teams awesome!
Sincerely,
Suphatra

That isn't actually the same Suphatra. I don't have access to create a distribution list, but want to invite a set of users to my MS Teams. So, not really the same.

Please add CSV import ability

The ability to upload a .csv would be massively useful. Some of our Team owners need to add multiple users who are not in the same distribution list so this isn't a viable solution for them.

Hi I am trying that distribution list approach and the add button is grayed out - any idea why?

We need to be able to add users via a .csv

Can we cut and paste a list of email accounts all at once into 'Add member' Team site configuration? Like Outlook separate each account by a ';', then Teams can take moment do account verification for errors that need resolution...

If Yammer can do it then Teams should be able to do a csv import also

Would it be possible to link a SQL data base to a TEAM, so the users are managed easily, to add guests when they become members and to delete their access when they resign?

It would be very helpful to be able to add guests in TEAMS in bulk, or to import them from a .csv or .xlxs file.

I fully support this initiative! Thinking of big companies, on increasing adoptions of Teams for running projects and communities, could be beneficial the use of CSV and PowerShell to master and maintain Teams! Please, I do vote for it.

Adding a distribution list wouldn't help. I have a .csv file that would save me hours, if I could just copy and paste those. There isn't a distro list made up for this, as I have 60 groups of 25 to create.

I used to be able to add lists of users to a Unified Group then convert them to a Team. Can NOT do that anymore. We are not able to create add a list of names to a Unified Group. Unless I am going to Powershell this for all my users and create groups for them this is not acceptable. Please continue work on this.

"We have this" should be changed to "We had this" or "We have this if you create a Group before you create the Team and when you create the Team make sure you associate it with the Group".
With the change last year to how Teams and Groups are associated, you only can see your Group if you create it first, then create your Team based on the Group.

I want to include external users so a DL (which only allows me to include internal users) does not suffice for bulk addition. Please add CSV import!

Please add spreadsheet and csv bulk add/management capabilities to Teams. A REST API would also be handy.

DL list is clunky and does not meet the need of mass add.

Some applications where you can add multiple members allow putting separator (, or ;) between email addresses.
