NICRU You should be able to change your Teams meeting options and set the 'who can bypass the lobby' to 'Only me'. This means that everyone will wait in the lobby until you join and let them into the meeting

Steve880 that's good to know thank you. Is that setting something I can access in the meeting or is it a separate tab like the meeting options were? Maybe a screenshot of where it is? Thanks!

I makes the adjustments under "manage channel" in your channel "..."
Turn Moderation to "on"....and set so only the moderator can start a new post...this will prevent 99% of unauthorized meetings.
If you also unclick the "Allow members to reply to channel messages" box, then it will prevent ALL of them. You just need to go back and click this box once you start your meeting so the kids can post in the conversation window.
I don't know if this is the best way to make all this happen...its just what I do that seems to work.
I tried to attach a screenshot to this message.
