Hi mandy cockwell, I can understand how confusing and time-consuming this must feel you just want to set up a simple Teams meeting but figuring out how to add external contacts and create a group isn’t straightforward because Microsoft 365 has multiple layers like guest access, groups, and channels.

To add contacts for Teams meetings. first invite external users as guest accounts in Microsoft 365 Admin Center, then create a Microsoft 365 Group and add both internal and guest members, schedule meetings by sending invites to the group’s email address, and store detailed contact information in the Outlook People app for easy access, while using direct meeting links for one-time external participants and Teams channel meetings for recurring sessions.

Are the contacts you want to add internal users from your organization or external participants who don’t have Microsoft 365 accounts?

Best regards

How do i create a group and add their contact details

To add contacts to a Microsoft Teams meeting, you can follow these steps:

1. During the Meeting: If you are already in the meeting, select the Open participants button.
2. Add Participants: In the participants area, click on the Add participants button. This will open the Recent list of contacts.
3. Select Contacts: If the contact you want to add is in the Recent list, select their tile and then choose Show video. If they are not listed, you can enter their name or email address in the Search box using the holographic keyboard that appears.

This process allows you to invite additional participants to join the ongoing meeting.
