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 "

We're currently experiencing the same problem - all external users are being prevented from joining meetings.

 

I have checked:

  • Users - external access - allowing external access for all domains, teams accounts not managed by an org.
  • Meetings - meeting policies - allowing anonymous users etc.
  • Meetings - meeting settings - allowing anonymous users etc.

Still, no luck adding external users to calls. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Also, Microsoft really need to sort out consolidation of organisational settings and their awful admin UI. It shouldn't be this difficult to administer something so simple.
