Join Teams Meetings as anonymus

upfaffer Hello, it can take quite some time actually. Especially when toggling the anonymous settings. Just recently I had to wait like 12-24 hours.

There are basically three settings you should consider.

1. Anonymous users can join a meeting (Teams setting).

2. Anonymous users can start a meeting (Teams meeting policy).

3. The lobby setting that allows an anonymous user, Everyone, (Teams meeting policy or meeting option). The 'People I invite' will not work and put the anonymous user in the lobby (if not signed in).

If only allowing to join (1) they will be put in the lobby even though Everyone is set (3). When an authenticated user joins the meeting they will be let in automatically though.

If you allow both (1) and (2) an authenticated user doesn't have to join first for the anonymous user to enter the meeting, i.e. starting it. But the lobby option need to be put to Everyone.
