Let Guest access work like SharePoint guest access.
Let Guest access work like SharePoint guest access.
Currently guest users are required to have a Teams subscription in their own tenant. It would be very helpful if guest access in Teams would function like guest access in SharePoint Online, including restricting the ability to invite guests to only those already in the Azure Active Directory associated with the tenant.

In my experience, an effective team will ALWAYS include "guests" and so the current implementation of MS Teams is worthless for my organization. By not allowing invited outsiders to fully participate, it doubles the work if internally you use MS Teams. Not useful.

And, this should be way easier than having to use Azure to set up a guest. You should be able to invite a guest user from right inside teams with any email address and without an Office account to participate in team conversations. The lack of this functionality is what is keeping our teamwork, chat and conferencing with our current provider.

Yes, this is absolutely critical for us. We are bringing our external users as "guests" and are also using auto-accelerate (on the SharePoint Online side) to auth users via a 3rd-party identity provider. It is highly discouraging that this doesn't work the same way for Teams.

I have successfully added an external user with a Gmail account to our Azure AD. I am unable to invite the external user to a Team. I receive "You are not authorized" message when I select the Add button. I have all required permissions set appropriately, so I'm led to believe this error is because the guest user does not have a Teams subscription.
