Microsoft Teams: Teams Connect chat enhancements
Microsoft Teams is set to receive a new feature to enhance chats with external partners. Specifically, IT admins will be able to add external partners who have phone-based Teams accounts not managed by an organization to their organization's extended directory. These external users can have a company curated user profile, complete with location and job role. This move allows users who have been enabled for Teams external access to search for these external users by name and establish group or 1:1 chats, just like they do with internal users. The feature is expected to be released in June CY2023 and will be available on Android for the Worldwide Cloud Instance, with the roadmap ID being 119789.
