external company telling me i need to allow my users to enter their meetings
does this make sense to anyone?
I have an outside company telling me that they are creating Teams meetings for my company and potential candidates. She indicates that my company is the only company that is not allowed to start the meetings she creates. This does not happen to any of her other customers.
She's asked me that I get this fixed on my end. What am i missing here? Is there some sort of setting in my tenant that says do not allow my users to start an external teams meeting?

Hey Chris
Was it the first meeting that external company organized for you?
Can you ask the external company to provide the detailed information on how she has configured the specific meeting options, specifically "who can bypass the lobby"?
For them to organize meetings in which external users start the meeting without them as organizers being present, they have configured specific meeting policies:
- In the teams admin center (admin.teams.microsoft.com)
- Under meeting policies
- Under meeting join & lobby
activated the options
- anonymous users can join a meeting
- anonymous users and dial-in callers can start a meeting
With this policy, meetings should be able to start without the organizer being present.
But if she configures the specific meeting so that not everyone can bypass the lobby, that might block you or the candidate from entering the meeting and thus starting it.
