FAQS

Yes, you can invite a guest external to the organization to a new meeting or to an existing meeting. This example will walk you through inviting a guest to a meeting set up through your personal MS Teams account. To invite a guest to a meeting occurring as part of an existing Teams channel (i.e. a Course's Live Classroom, Course Development channel, or Rasmussen committee), please visit this FAQ. 

Existing Meeting Invitation

If you would like to add a guest to an existing meeting, open the meeting from your MS Teams calendar.

Add the guest's email address in the 'Add required attendees' section. Type in your guest's email address. Click the 'Invite guest email address' prompt that appears directly beneath the attendees section. It will display "unknown" as the guest is outside of your organization.

You will notice the email address is now entered in the field. Click the 'Send update' button to send the invite to the guest. 

New Meeting Invitation

To invite a guest to a meeting you are scheduling, add the guest's email address in the 'Add required attendees' section. 

 Once you are finished with the remaining meeting details, click the 'Send' button and the guest will be sent an invitation for the scheduled meeting.
