After sharing with you some useful resources about Guest access in Office 365 Groups, in this new blog post I will show you step by step how this feature works in an existing Office 365 Group:
-
First thing you need to do know is that in order to be able to add Guests to an Office 365 Group, you need to be a Group owner. With this requirement in mind, just browse the members section in the Group:
-
Click the Add members action so the Add members panel is displayed and type the Guest e-mail you want to invite to your group. Bear in mind that you can invite Guests that have a professional e-mail or a Live ID. If you invite a user with a GMail account that is not linked to a Live ID, he/she will be asked to create the Live ID before being able to access to the Group.
-
Save your changes in regards of the Guests added to the Group:
-
Check new Guests are part of the Group.
-
If everything works as expected, your Guest will receive a welcome e-mail message with instructions about how to participate in Groups conversations and how to access to Group resources:
