Sure, I'd be happy to explain the solution in detail!

The scenario requires you to allow users from a partner company, Contoso Ltd., to collaborate with your company's users in Teams. Specifically, you need to enable chat messaging in channels. Here are the three actions you should perform before adding Contoso users to Teams:

  1. Enable external access in Teams: You need to enable guest access in Microsoft Teams so that external users, such as those from Contoso, can collaborate with your company's users. To do this, you should go to the Guest access settings in the Teams admin center and set Allow guest access in Microsoft Teams to On. This will allow guests to join teams, channels, and participate in chats.

  2. Allow external domains in Azure AD: You need to add Contoso's domain to the list of target domains in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This will ensure that external users from Contoso can be authenticated and authorized to collaborate with your company's users. To do this, go to the External collaboration settings in the Azure AD admin center and add Contoso's domain to the list of allowed domains.

  3. Allow external users to access group content: To enable external users to access group content in Teams, you need to set Let group members outside the organization access group content to On. This setting can be found in the Services & Add-ins settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This will allow external users, such as those from Contoso, to participate in chats and access files shared in Teams channels.

It's important to note that while some of the other options provided in the answer choices may be relevant for enabling external collaboration, they are not necessary for this specific scenario. For example, setting Let group owners add people outside the organization to groups to On may be useful for allowing external users to join private teams or channels, but it's not required for enabling chat messaging in channels. Similarly, setting Guest user permissions are limited to No may be useful for granting external users more permissions in Teams, but it's not necessary for enabling chat messaging.
