How to view if external guests have accepted an invite to a teams channel

Question

I am wondering if there's a way to view what invited guests have and have not accepted an invite to a teams channel after they've been invited. I have a theory, but I cannot confirm. When I navigate to the Manage Channel settings, there's a Members tab where I can view everyone I've invited, but I cannot differentiate who as accepted and who is still pending. Is this information somewhere?

In Microsoft Teams, there's a way to see the status of invitations, but it's not as straightforward as seeing it directly from the channel settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can find out the status of invited guests:

1. Microsoft Teams Admin Center: If you have administrative permissions, you can access the Teams Admin Center.
   • Go to the Teams Admin Center.
   • Navigate to Users > Guest Access.
   • Here, you should be able to see a list of guests and their status.
2. Azure Active Directory: If your organization uses Azure Active Directory, you can check the invitations here.
   • Log in to the Azure portal.
   • Navigate to Azure Active Directory > Users.
   • Find the guest user you’re interested in and check their status—whether their invitation is still pending or accepted.
3. Teams Channel Emails: If you're a team owner, you can also check for the acceptance emails that Teams might send when someone accepts the invite.
   • Go to Outlook and check the inbox or the Teams-related folder for notifications about the acceptance of the invites.
4. Ask the Invited Guests Directly: If the above methods are not viable, you can reach out to the invited guests directly to confirm whether they have accepted the invitation or are encountering any issues.
