Who can bypass the lobby
Hi all,
In my Teams Admin Center I have the option "Who can bypass the lobby" configured as "People in my org, trusted orgs, and guests", and this is exactly what I want.
But I could see that there is the same option when an organizer is scheduling a metting and he can change it for "Everyone", and this seems to overlaps and has precedence over the configuration performed in Admin Center, because Anonymous can bypass the lobby if organizer did the mentioned configuration.
Is this expected? Shouldn't admin center config takes precedence? If this is expected, there is any way to lock this option for organizer?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Yes, organizers can override that
This is a per-organizer policy. This setting controls which types of participants (except participants dialing in by phone) join a meeting directly. This policy also controls which types of participants wait in the lobby until an organizer, co-organizer, or presenter admits them. This policy sets a default that your organizers can change through their Meeting options.
If you still need to force it:
Meeting organizers can change the default values that you choose for the People dialing in can bypass the lobby, Who can admit from lobby and Who can bypass the lobby settings through their Meeting options. If you need to enforce these settings to a particular value, you can use a meeting template or sensitivity label (Teams Premium license required). For more information, see Configure the Microsoft Teams meeting lobby for sensitive meetings.
