Allow only specific external domains

When External Access is set to “Allow only specific external domains”

 

Scenario 1

If Microsoft Teams External Access is set to “Allow only specific external domains”, and a user from a domain not on the allowed list joins a meeting while signed into their work Teams account,

Will they still appear with their actual name and organization, rather than as Anonymous?

Is this correct?

 

Scenario 2

If a user from a non-allowed domain joins the meeting link through a browser and selects “Join as guest”,

Will they appear under the name they manually enter, instead of showing as Anonymous?

Is this correct?

 

Scenario 3

If a user joins without authenticating and meeting policy allows anonymous access,

Will they appear as Anonymous only in that situation, and not because of the External Access restriction?

Is this correct?

    What I want to know is With “Allow only specific external domains”, if a person from a non-allowed domain will typically join as Anonymous (if anonymous join is enabled) or will he join as Username because we plan to disable anonymous.
