For example, we have a Team consisting of individuals from 4 companies, each company have potentially multiple domains.

We want the following:

  • When we schedule meetings we want to see each other's availability.
  • Access to Teams functionality
    • Shared files storage
    • Channels and Conversations
    • Chats and Group Chats

Update 1:

When you are added as a Guest you do not have a Calendar in the toolbar. You cannot schedule a meeting. This is not good for collaboration. The below image is what it looks like when you are a Guest. View of MS Teams as Guest

Update 2:

It appears that this currently is not a supported feature. This really inhibits productivity and collaboration. Vote here if you agree.

  • You could add people from other organisations as guests in your Teams. Please go through this docs for [guest access in teams](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/guest-access). – Gousia Begum Apr 23 '20 at 09:01
  • @Gousia-MSFT if you are added as a guest you cannot even schedule a meeting let alone see others calendars. Maybe you can use the meet now option, but I've never seen anyone use that effectively in a channel. People can't just meet on a whim. – successhawk Apr 24 '20 at 19:25
  • Guest users cannot have the same functionalities as the users in same tenant. Guest users have their own limitations and it is not possible to view a guest users availability while scheduling a meeting. – Gousia Begum Apr 28 '20 at 09:21

You can add external to your organization people as guests.

  • This did not resolve the first bullet point of my question. According to the link, guests do not have visibility to "Calendar, Scheduled Meetings, or Meeting Details". – successhawk Apr 24 '20 at 15:21
