I have a meeting created in a Teams channel - chat only works between members or owners and not with guests. Is there the possibility with powershell to enable the use of chat for guests?

    name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was

    @Sebastiano Tropea ,

    You can execute the following command to allow guest users to chat:

    Set-CsTeamsGuestMessagingConfiguration -AllowUserChat $True

    Before you start, installing the Teams PowerShell module. Then, connect using an admin credentials. For more details, please refer tot this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/manage-skype-for-business-online-with-microsoft-365-powershell?view=o365-worldwide.
