Invite people outside of your team or people who don't have a Wire account to join a group conversation with a link. Team members can create guest rooms on desktop or from their mobile devices, and share the link with the person or group they want to collaborate with.
The guest can join the conversation on a desktop, but not on a mobile device.
Wire requires the latest version of Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox (no private browsing).
