Loops components with external users

@Jake, can you explain why this functionality was not included at launch? You have hobbled our employee's ability to collaborate with external meeting participants. Why would you launch something that claims to increase collaboration while excluding everyone not in the company with no easy workaround for so long? As far as I can tell, you still don't have a date set to launch. I don't know the exact date of when this was switched in Teams, but Loop was launched in November 2021. So, it's been two years and counting that you thought no one needed to collaborate with anyone outside of their own company. And, now our admins have disabled Loop acorss the organization and you lost the opportunity to get customer buy-in on a new product that could have been helpful. However, our staff won't use it now since Microsoft doesn't know how to launch products or features correctly.

This is great news Jake and I really hope that this will be released very soon.

I already interact a lot with external organizations via MS Teams and MS Planner.

Here the Loop functionality is something urgently missing to promote remote collaboration.

will this functionality be tied to the ability to use Loop in Teams Channels (that's supposedly rolling out now/soon)? Seems odd that we can have guests on Teams channel but that they wouldn't be able to see or engage with the Loops that the rest of the channel is using.

This is great news! Thanks so much!

Any update on timing? We were full steam ahead ready to share with 5-6 external partners and this through us for a "loop". Pun intended. Thanks!
