Is there any other way to add those external users without invitation as we already have the trust established.

Great Video! With direct connect can i add an external user from the trusted tenant to an AAD sec Group in the trusting tenant? Or for instance, can I share a power app or a spo communication site to this group so the external user ca access it?

So from what i've seen in my organisation, if i understand well, when you allow only collaboration, you can't add eg a gmail address to a shared channel. Only if you allow also Direct connect, you can ad gmail addresses?

That was cool! Just wanted to know if this can search for a user from Outlook. Like can I lookup a user from the "other" organization while sending email from Outlook. I just type a few characters of his name and the email address is filled. Kind of GAL sync.
