Latest changs on Teams meeting options

Could be that the setting is not rolled out yet. Bypass lobby is listed as coming soon:
Hi LinusCansby
Not sure if I follow you. I believe Microsoft has forgot that "anonymous users" and "dial-in users" are not normally handled in same way.
The TechNet documents says:
-AllowPSTNUsersToBypassLobby
Determines whether a PSTN user joining the meeting is allowed or not to bypass the lobby. If you set this parameter to True, PSTN users are allowed to bypass the lobby as long as an authenticated user is joined to the meeting.

Question is still, I have defined: AllowPSTNUsersToBypassLobby $true. For me this means that all PSTN callers should be able to join to the meetings without lobby. But even so this still requires that users need to set "everyone" on the meeting options. And when they do so, then that allows also anonymous users to join to meeting without lobby, and this is something which we do not want.
For me the current behaviour looks like the teams meetings do not respect the policy. Or I'm totally lost 😄

If you set AllowPSTNUsersToBypassLobby to $true you should also set AutoAdmittedUsers to $true. Since AutoAdmittedUsers will override the other setting. Maybe more clear in the TAC
Automatically admit people: Everyone
Allow dial-in users to bypass the lobby: OnAs you see you can't change "Allow dial-in users to bypass the lobby" to Off since "Automatically admit people" overrides.These settings will be the default settings for users with this policy. But the can still change in meeting options. So if you set AllowPSTNUsersToBypassLobby to $true in the meeting policy and the user changes the meeting options to "Who can bypass the lobby?": "People in my organization", PSTN callers will not be able to bypass the lobby.If you set the policy like this:
Teams users outside of your organisation will be placed in the lobby but PSTN callers will bypass the lobby.- Petri-XDec 11, 2019Bronze Contributor

And still dial-in users end into lobby.
