Attendees in Lobby Hearing Each Other while waiting

tdwachur While I agree that students should not be able to do anything while in the lobby waiting to join a meeting, I have now had this situation (students able to talk to one another) reported to me by at least two different teachers from different schools in our district. Unfortunately, we at the district level have not been able to replicate the situation, and it is never consistent as to which students can talk while waiting in the meeting lobby. Thankfully, our students reported it to the teacher and are practicing appropriate behavior by telling each other to mute their microphones while they wait.
Any help or guidance that @Microsoft can provide about this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Please read my reply above.
- Thank you Christian. We have been using Teams successfully with our classes for the past year, and this situation just started happening in the last couple of weeks. The district has Teams set-up so that our students cannot create meetings or have access to Chat in Teams.
- Hello, well then I'm afraid your IT hasn't set up all the necessary settings/polices as when waiting in the lobby there's nothing more to it. You can't talk to others etc. But if your IT are certain they have set up everything correct but the policies don't work as expected, then they need to open up a support ticket with Microsoft.
- We have now seen this happening in many schools and grade levels across our county, so our IT support has opened a dialogue with MS Engineers.
