Mass add users to a channel or team
Please add mass add users to a channel or team.
Like we use on other Office 365 services. email@domain;email@domain and (if possible) @everyone something like that.
I'm using and loving Microsoft Teams :-)
Thanks a lot.

Hi folks, we are collecting feedback on this so we can determine prioritization and user need.
Please comment in the thread below about how this affects you, how you currently add members, and who you think would benefit from this in your organization.
Thank you!

I can't believe this is not already available. I have over 100 names that I need to add one at a time. This feels like 1990, come on people.....

As we move everyone from Skype to Teams meetings, the biggest complaint is having to add the users one by one to the Teams mtg or the as a Teams member. When you have some adhoc groups that consist of 50 people, we are asking to have them key them back in one by one.....

Please add this feature ASAP. Manually adding 40+ people to a team is very time consuming.

Hi - is the ability to copy and paste a list of e-mail addresses to add teams members coming? e.g. copy and paste a list like this into "add member" user1@contoso.com; user2@contoso.com etc

Please add this feature, it's a quite basic functionality needed. Missing it makes adoption more difficult, as we'd need to add contacts one by one.

I'm currently adding a list of 79 people that are not under an existing Group or Distribution list. Was disappointed to find out I couldn't paste the list in, even comma separated, and had to individually type each person. Luckily I was on the list so in reality it's only 78 people.

I think trying to replicate the SharePoint group functionality where you can either paste in names, email addresses, or domain\usernames separated by semi-colons would be a good start.

OMFG yes! CSV would do, but the simple ability to copy and paste all names out of an email or Outlook calendar would be best.

It would be helpful if we could paste multiple names wither with a delimiter, such as comma or semicolon separated or something. Sometimes we need to email everyone in a group EXCEPT a few people, so we'll expand the group, remove a few names, and try to paste into a new team or group chat. Currently we have to type each name manually, and if you have 50+ names this is time consuming and frustrating.

Please add this very useful feature to MS Teams - we have just started to use the MS Teams package and it is a constraint atm to being limited to only be able to add to one name at a time

i'd like to share Teams with another company without sending an invite to each people. It should be possible with @domain authorization.

Please add the feature where we can add multiple email addresses at one go.
Quite frankly, its astonishing ridiculous why such a feature is missing. -

OMG! I can't believe I can't add multiple users to my team at one time. I can't even use an Outlook Contact List. This is so, so wrong. Who thought this was a feature???!!!!!!

Should be able to add entire team to your chat list -- actually everyone in all of your teams should appear in your contacts list. Why have an extra (cumbersome) task of adding the team members ONE BY ONE???

This is a much needed feature - adding the ability to paste multiple users email addresses with a delimiter would meet my needs, but i know that others would want to have some kind of file upload.

totally agree we need to be able to add people to teams in bulk via a simple copy paste of emails , ;-separated-email or csv file. bulk adding via distribution list doesn't work. we don't manage all work or teams via distribution lists and creating a distribution list in itself can be awkward and not a time saver versus manual addition. please make this happen. it works elsewhere in O365.

We are using teams to create groups that work on a specific subject or development. These groups sometimes are large and adding each user manually is very time consuming. The team leaders in my organization would benefit from this.

What a stupid question, on what universe should groups of users only be able to be added one user at a time. This is clearly and obviously a huge flaw in the product that is dramatically behind industry norms from what people expect from this type of application. Maybe I should just use slack for my need here.
