Hello Kael Yao-MSFT

Thank you for your reply.

We had two external domains Both were allowed in accepted domain. One domain user using teams another with Skype business.

We need to club both domains in single teams group but we could not add skype business users.

We can do 1:1 chat with skype business users.

Are there any changes needed, or this is the way it works ? Please Help us to understand

Hi,

It is not possible to add Skype for Business users as guests to Teams group.

While it is possible to 1:1 chat with them. (group chat is not possible)
