Allow guests to join meeting whilst having Anonynous access turned off
So this should be dead simple but I cant seem to get it to work. So we have guest users in O365. Call it mailto:a@b.com. We schedule a meeting and enter the email address of the guest user in...
- Hello again, why have you added them as guests if you only want to have meetings and not any requirement to access Teams resources etc? You could either remove the guest accounts because then you're already set with the open federation or you can ask the guests not being able to access the meeting to make sure they are signed into your tenant from the org. switcher accessible from the top right corner. That's my best resolution to this. If still not working you better open up a support case.
Hi
The Guest users are in the O365 Guest Users under users,
External access is setup. No allow or block, in other words all allowed.
Happens to all users.
Same behaviour and tried logging out.
I thought whole point of guest users was to allow them access to teams meetings i.e. you could invite them without turning on anonymous access.
Hi, well anyone can actually join a meeting (if you permit it) you only add them as guests, and not federated, when you want them to also access Teams resources (as federated/external access can't). Perhaps you better open up a proper support ticket with Microsoft as this sounds a bit odd.
- Hi Christian, thats just it, they cant. external users cannot join Teams meetings even when they are added as guests, Im baffled. I dont want external users to access resources, just join a meeting. The only way I have found is to allow anonymous access but that then allows anyone into a meeting, and students abuse this.
