Only people with access to this org can join its meetings

We moved to Teams Only mode two weeks ago and now we have problems with Teams meetings with some organizations. Everything is configured using this checklist: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microso...

    Tomas_SI had to ask Premier support and their answer was:
    "As you want to communicate with the different organisations who is not a part of your domain that's why we would be require to enable this setting "Anonymous users can join a meeting".  And yes this is secure. And if there is the limitation on guest users tenant then those guest wont be able to join so... Because they have restricted there tenant for the same.

     

    And yes for External access there are 3 options which can be set according to the needs of the organization :

    • Off Completely 
    • On except for blocked Domains: In this you can mentioned the domains which you need to block.
    • On only for allowed domains: And in this you can mentioned those domains for which you want to communicate "

I too have just started to look at this issue.
To mee this seems to be a bug. As @Tech Logic linked too, MS states there is a difference between Anonymous and Guest users. The option being mentioned here to fix the issue shouldn't have any effect on Guest users, only Anonymous.
MS recommends having that option set to No to block anonymous, but the whole point of a collaboration suite is to collaborate. Given Guest accounts are 'linked' to your Azure AD they should be treated separately.

Has anyone been able to setup Teams to block Anonymous but allow guest accounts?
