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

Bulk upload for a classroom environment is an absolute necessity. It's much too cumbersome to add one student at a time.

distribution list is not enough. We need to be able to add a CSV file or add people with semicolon between the names

You must add a bulk or group member add function to teams. as a public school teacher, i simply do not have the time to add one by one. please, please figure this one out.

A DG doesn't meet my need when it is many people not in a DG. DG add does not solve the problem. Thank you.

Why can you bulk add users via a CSV file in Yammer, but not in Teams?

Just typed 75 names 1 by 1... these emails came from an internal list and was not part of an existing group. Though we needed to form a Team in teams. Not cool :(

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?

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.
