Microsoft teams updates and allows guest access

Microsoft has been considering various ways to attract more users to Microsoft Teams for a while. One of the options under consideration is to launch a free version that is not linked to Office 365. Although this has not happened yet. And that it could help the platform fight rivals like Slack. This is likely to come soon, but for now the platform has been updated with some important news.

Microsoft Teams is updated and allows guest access

There has been a major change in the update that has come to Microsoft Teams. Since from now on, guests are allowed access to it. So they do not need to belong to a specific team.

Microsoft Teams allows guest access

This new function is already available on the platform. So any user will be able to test it and give a guest access to the work of a team. Regardless of whether or not that person belongs to that team. So one if a person at a specific time needs punctual access, they will be able to obtain it. In addition, without having to belong to the team.

It will be necessary for some team members to formalize the invitation through the application. They should look for the option to add members in the options bar. It will be necessary to enter the details of the person to invite and an email. All that is required is that said person have a Microsoft account (Hotmail or Outlook).

This is a notable change for Microsoft Teams, which makes the rules a little more flexible. So we will have to see what more changes the application leaves us in the coming months. Since the company seems determined that it can reach more users.
