Invite someone outside the company to a Teams meeting

You can invite anyone with an email address to a meeting — they don’t need Teams or an account. They join as a guest.

1. Create the meeting in Teams or Outlook Calendar and add the external person’s email address like any attendee.
2. Send the invite — it includes a Join link that works in a browser without an account.
3. On the day, the guest clicks Join and waits in the lobby until you admit them.
4. Admit them from the participant list when you’re ready.
5. Be cautious sharing sensitive content — treat guests as external the whole meeting.
6. If guests can’t join, check with whedo.it that external/anonymous join is allowed.
