Bypass Lobby not working
We set up a lot of meetings on behalf of clients. We are choosing the option that everyone can bypass the lobby however it doesn't seem to work most of the time. I tested it a few times with a person...
No, this still hasn't rectified the issue unfortunately
DebraW5 Hello, I assume that you're talking about an anonymous user here? That is someone who's not signed into Teams but rather simply joins using a meeting link with a browser? (they type in a name in a meeting join prompt first).
To bypass the lobby and enter automatically as an anonymous user -> without having a user from the own organization already in the meeting <- you have to allow the second one here as well. If you're not toggling the second one, there has to be an org. user in the meeting for these users to bypass the lobby automatically. The first one is simply about if they are even allowed to join meetings.
- Hi Christian, where is that setting? Thanks
- Hi, sorry. Got the idea you're a Teams administrator. The picture is from Teams admin center and is in the Teams meeting policy.
You could perhaps talk to the administrator about the so called federation settings as well, to see if they are open. If not open for all domains they block others not in the "allow list" making them join as "anonymous" hence get stuck in the lobby if being first to the meeting.- I spoke to the administrator and all these settings are already on. Not sure why this is still an issue for us.
