- 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.
I agree with the workaround but this has an issue wherein the students might miss the class provided if they don't know when the class is scheduled in advance.
