How to participateto Teams meeting without a Microsoft account?

It is possible to work with external people (without a Microsoft Account) in Microsoft Teams.

You can easily collaborate with people without a Microsoft Account.

You can also communicate with other Office 365 users (with their own tenant environment), or people with a gmail, hotmail or other type of account.

You do not have to take into account how others have configured their technical environment. Whether you admit guests via hotmail or directly in Microsoft Teams - there is no difference.

It is therefore possible to hold a meeting with external people via Microsoft Teams . Just as in the past, an Outlook invitation could be used to share a non-online meeting.

Teams is built to be able to collaborate inside and outside your organisation. There are specific additional settings such as: outsiders may not start the meeting without people from your organisation, outsiders may not start a recording etc.. - but these have nothing to do with holding a meeting.
