callers stuck in lobby
jestexman Hi, you can use Teams meeting policies or a per-meeting setting with the meeting options.
Allow dial-in users to bypass the lobby

jestexman when you enable the audio conferencing license an email is sent to each user with a PIN. If they dial in to a meeting that isn't started they are asked if they are the meeting organiser, then asked to enter their PIN which will start the meeting and admit people.
It's far more realistic for your staff to use the Teams app on their mobile phones to join meetings anyway, I really don't get why they would dial in.

How does a user schedule and start a meeting when all attendees will be using a phone to dial in?
