Details:

Mesh events allows for even better collaboration for more people by now supporting guest user attendees into the Mesh PC app. Event organizers can invite guest users outside their organization, providing an opportunity for broader collaboration and networking in Mesh events. Guests can sign in to the Mesh app to join events, participate in discussions, and experience the same interactive features as internal users, all while maintaining secure access control. Guest user creation follows the existing process for tenant guest user creation (outside of Mesh). For this release, guest users would require a Teams Premium license, just like regular tenant attendees, to collaborate within Mesh. Guest access for the Mesh app on Quest and support for anonymous participants will be supported in a future update.

Microsoft Teams has introduced a new feature called Microsoft Mesh, which now allows guest users to join events on their PC.

Think of it like hosting a big party at your house. Previously, only people who lived in your house (internal users) could attend. Now, you can invite friends from other houses (guest users) to join the party too. These guests can participate in all the activities and conversations just like your house members, but with some security measures to ensure everything stays safe.

To invite these guests, you follow the same steps you would normally use to invite someone to your house. However, for now, these guests need a special ticket (Teams Premium license) to join the party. In the future, more options will be available, like inviting guests without a ticket or allowing anonymous participants.

This update makes it easier for different people to collaborate and network during Mesh events, expanding the possibilities for teamwork and interaction.
