Meeting option: who can bypass lobby
The text in brackets should not be there for that option - the setting is nothing to do with preventing forwarding. It is a mistake. I would not expect to govern the forwarding of the meeting invite through a setting titled "who can bypass the lobby".
I am running M365 Apps for Enterprise on both my home PC and work laptop, but with different version numbers.
On my home PC I see the same text in brackets. Version: 16.0.14931.20660
On my work laptop I see no text in brackets. Version: 16.0.15601.20088
Seems to be version related, and that text should not be there.
Kind regards
Ben

But that is what that option does. But interesting to hear that future version brings changes to that. I do have as well version: 16.0.14931.20648.

Not for me, I'm able to forward the invite using the Teams client or Outlook even when I select that option. What that text in brackets is trying to say is that people who receive the meeting invite as a forward rather than direct from the organiser will not be able to by-pass the lobby. The use of wording is poor and makes it seem like it prevents forwarding of the invite - it doesn't, it simply prevents non-original recipients by-passing the lobby.
In my opinion it should just say "People I invite" (as I think that's clear enough), and forwarding should not be affected by ANY setting in this drop down. The ability to turn off forwarding is performed in the 'Meeting Response' options in a separate area, alongside Request Responses and Allow Proposing of New Times.
I think we can agree they've made a small mess out of it though 🙂

Okay, then this is even more strange, as if I select it, the "forward" is gone on Teams client, but not on Outlook.

This would be nice statement for starting weekend 😄
