Is it possible for users outside the organization to be able to start a meeting without the owner?
I mean, I am going to invite people outside my organization to a meeting, but I cannot be present to let them join the meeting Is this possible today with Microsoft Teams?

But, you describe it for dial-in conferencing meetings situations, I understand it is for audio conferences (used with a mobile phone), does it work exactly for traditional Microsoft Teams meetings (with Teams client) ?
- nlundqvistMar 09, 2021Brass ContributorIf you click on the link "meeting options" which is present in your invitation you will be directed to a web page where you can control "who, when and what".
- gtorresMar 09, 2021Brass Contributornlundqvist this feature is not configurable from this section, please note that it is not about the lobby "it is about starting a meeting without the creator".
Have you ever performed this test?
thanks!- nlundqvistMar 09, 2021Brass Contributor
gtorres I have tried it out. Letting everybody bypass the lobby lets anyone start the meeting.
