Hi
We have M365 Business Premium licenses.
Is it possible to invite external non-licensed users to Teams chat without them having an email address?
And if email address is mandatory, does it need to be Microsoft email (outlook.com, live.com, etc.) or can it be gmail or whatever email?
Hello @IMK !
When you invite someone into a meeting the meeting creates a Meeting ID and a Password
If the recipient does not have Teams , he/she can still join over the Web by just entering the details of the meeting
Teams Web provides a window to enter these details and they are good to go !
I hope this helps!
Kindly mark the answer as Accepted and Upvote in case it helped!
Regards

Hi
Thanks for answers but I am not talking about a meeting chat.
I am talking about normal chat's in Teams without meetings. Group chat's or one-to-one chats.
@IMK
No, it is not possible to invite external non-licensed users to Teams group chat or 1:1 chat without them having an email address. To invite someone to a Teams chat, you need to enter their email address or phone number.
