Hi,

I think it is a bug. Since you are able to share video when the meeting has started (if you rejoin). First time you are placed to wait in the Lobby until an organizer starts the meeting. When you are waiting in the Lobby you should not be able to share video. Since the video works when you rejoin it is not a policy setting.

I tested on Android now and I'm not able to share video in the Lobby (I don't even see the icon). When the meeting starts and I'm able to share my video.

Can you reproduce this with another phone? If so report it to Microsoft support.

LinusCansby Thanks for quick reply.

Its not just in the lobby. It's not until I promote them to attendee and then they rejoin that they're able to share video. Before then they are labeled as 'guest'.

This happens on multiple devices, but I'll have to track down an android device.

  Timothy Anderson I guess that that it still says "Guest" under the name when you make them Attendee. They are probably Presenters when they join first (ex. they can share screen), then you make them an attendee instead of presenter.
