- The lobby settings are for external attendees. Internal attendees can join meetings at any time and I do not believe you can change this currently. What I would suggest is setting up the meeting without the Teams link in it and paste a link to the channel instead. (Right click channel, get link) assuming everyone in meeting is in the Team since you previously did channel meeting. Now when it’s time to start the class the Teacher can just go click “Meet Now” as a new conversation and name the class and then everyone will get an alert and see the meeting box pop up to click to join.
Hopefully that works out for you as a work around.
If all the users are part of your organization then there is no mechanism to control the feature. All the Members who are part of the organization would be admitted to the meeting even before the start of the Meeting. So in your case the Students would be admitted to the Teams Meeting before the Organizer Arrives.
