    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

It didn't work. I think it is something the district has to change and I doubt it will happen any time soon. 😞

MDPtusd  Is it a channel you created?  Or the "general" channel that Teams starts you with?

    MDPtusd   Yeah, then it could be settings that your IT dept. has to manage.  We have had to work with our IT to get several of the global settings changed...just in time for us to go back to full school and NOT be using Teams for meetings anymore.  LOL.

     

    Have a great school year!  (in spite of Teams limitations!)
