Guest user in Shifts
Would like to add guest users in Shifts as they work alongside other team members.

Due to other priorities, this has been moved to the backlog. We will update you as we evaluate in the future.

Please reconsider this urgently, Teams as a whole is useless to me without this functionality. Many organisations do not have every member of staff on their network. Our IT people want us to exclusivly use Office products and our HR want us to have a more intergrated approach to staffing. I'd like to please them both.

As mentioned several times below, adding this funcionality you'll make daily work of your end-users easier. Otherwise, we'd really need to look for some alternative platfomr for communication & data sharing that will allow shifts management as well. It will be great to get some update since December 18, 2019 to understand whether this would be a working option withing next 5-6 months

it wont be introduces anytime soon as Microsoft don't care what business want. Knobs sits there in the design and development teams so they wont release it as they dont care about your commments at all. That is why they lost with SLACK over IBM contract for 350k users and thats why this product is just ****.

Any idea when this feature will be introduced? I work with examiners that are externals to the organisation, this feature is very important for us at the moment.

Please add this feature as it would allow me to migrate everything to office 365 and teams.

We would use this feature for a call out ROTA that our client issues, both have O365 licenses so payment is not an issue for us, merely that as principle contractor we would prefer to see numerous call out Rota's in Shifts rather than a spreadsheet in a SharePoint Library... this is what Shifts is for but it cannot be done at present...

Please make this a higher priority. As we start to use this more and more, we REALLY need this capability with external Guest staff. Thank you.

teams is (conceptually) a great app but completely useless for our small business without the ability to add guest users to shifts and prevents us from having a fully integrated system for management.

Please release this feature quickly. We have many first line workers who do not need a license. Majority are teenagers working part time in a more retail like environment. Purchasing a license would be overkill and cost prohibitive. Those of us who need a license have set work weeks rendering this great tool useless for us at this time.

This suggestion has planned status for more than half a year now, yet there was no official response in the whole thread. When can we expect some?
This feature of Teams is useless without this, as those that need Shifts don't actually need Office365 accounts (in our example, factory workers), and those that have Office365 accounts usually don't need Shifts as we have defined work week. It also doesn't make financial sense to create Office365 for those workers in need of Shifts, as they would only need it for this sole purpose.

I'm looking forward to this feature being implemented, but what I discovered and maybe it can help someone else here.
Although you cannot add a guest to Shifts you can add an unlicensed user, and the unlicensed user can access Teams just fine. Not the perfect fix, but this work around works for my needs at the moment.

How can we speed up the process of getting this function on Shifts? This should be way more important than whether or not we can use emojis??
