Adding unlicensed users on Teams

Question

We would like to add our employees to our Teams platform. All employees have a domain email, but not all use "microsoft office" products, so they come up as "unlicensed" in Microsoft Admin center.

Can we not add unlicensed members to Teams??

Do we have to use their personal emails and add them as guests??

Thank you!

You can sign up for the Teams exploratory thingy: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-exploratory

Answer 2

@Jodi Johnson ,

Thanks for michev’s quickly reply. It is quite helpful.

Just as a reminder, your organization isn't eligible for Microsoft Teams Exploratory experience if you're a Syndication Partner Customer or a GCC, GCC High, DoD, or EDU customer.

Users isn’t eligible if they:

①Currently or previously had Teams from a paid, unpaid, or trial license.

②Are in a tenant that used/received at least one special COVID offer.
