    To be really lazy I really need to know how to add multiple people without doing it individually…is that possible….I know you can’t just paste a list, no matter how you format that list as I’ve tried!

    Excellent little tip, this.

    Unfortunately MS Teams does not have a very intuitive interface, for some things at least. So we definitely need tips like this otherwise we’d never find half the functionality.

    Do they open this for Guest Users or only internal Teams Users?

    • hey, you can select Internal and Guest users in the Group chat. πŸ™‚
