    Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to announce the next step in our journey for External Access support as we enable you to start a group chat with up to 250 participants across different organizations. The team is testing this internally, and it is important to note that you will have to be enabled by admin policy for External Access in order to be able to use this new functionality. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

    Not having this functionality in Teams is holding back good collaboration and between clients, consultants/contractors and third party suppliers. Simply relying on email as the only form of communicating with external parties is not very helpful or productive. Setting up a group chat is far more useful. A workaround is to create a meeting which is not as spontaneous as just chatting!
