Question

How do I create a federation in Teams with a Partner?

Answer 1

Hi @Hale, David

Could you please tell me if you need help collaborating with people outside your organization?

There are two options for collaborating with people outside your organization in Teams:

• External access - A feature that allows users to find, call, and chat with people who have Microsoft identities, including those from other organizations.
• Guest access - A feature that allows you to invite people from outside your organization to join a team. Guests can also call, chat, and meet with people in your organization and you can share files and folders with them.

By default, external access is enabled. To configure external access, see Manage external meetings and chat with people and organizations using Microsoft identities.

If you need to have meetings with people outside your organization who aren't part of another Microsoft 365 organization, you can use guest access to allow them to log in to your organization for meetings. To configure guest access for Teams, see Collaborate with guests in a team.
