When you dig it up, it is totally crazy and the total shit that we could expect.

Nothing works really well nowadays with exchange (classic, new, web, ...) or Teams. It is a complex layer based on sharepoint, that was not designed for that, because OneDrive is so bad that they have absolutely no way to manage a proper sharing of files between multiple persons, and so even less between teams and orgs.

Yeah. Once you start working with the SharePoint API and Exchange API, you realize how it’s a miracle that Teams works at all. It’s bonkers.

I once figured out that you can go to the permissions page on the SharePoint site created by Teams and remove access for the corresponding M365 group.

M365 relies on SharePoint and Exchange, but they don’t rely on M365. So, you can potentially break Teams.

I the nice things like that, if someone gives you access to their Teams but you don't have a "storage" license on their domain, you will be able to exchange messages but a lot of things will not work without explicit clear error. And especially sending or receiving a file, image or anything in a chat conversation.
