MS Teams | How to add a guest account

Guest accounts must be manually invited to the MS Teams course team. This procedure is only needed for the first MS Teams team they will become a member of. Once their external email address is known to the MS Team environment they will automatically become members of the other MS Teams linked to Brightspace courses
