Enable MC Teams Chat for "Unverified" users

Hi @Ramon Winter ,

There are several settings you should have in consideration when dealing with external/anonymous users in Teams. I'm assuming you have the basic settings set, and just the chat is not available. If so, just make sure the following setting is set accordingly in your Teams meeting policy.

• Meeting chat: On for everyone

As usual, If this answers your query, do click Accept Answer and Yes for was this answer helpful. And, if you have any further queries do let us know.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Ramon Winter

The Meeting chat setting controls whether participants in your users' meetings can and read and write chat messages.

In addition to this Meeting chat policy, your users have their own Meeting chat control in their meeting options. If the admin policy isn't set to Off for everyone, organizers can manage chat availability in their meetings and webinars. They can choose to set chat to On, Off, or In meeting only. For more information on your users' Meeting chat controls, see Chat in a Teams meeting.
