Removed external meeting participant can easily rejoin
Trevor Baxter
Hey Trev - this in development and we should have it in June 🙂
Will force even internals to go to lobby
the issue has nothign to do with who is forced to go to the lobby - although Only me (which is referred to in one of the working on is useufl).
The problem is that currently that someone who enters via the lobby. is accepted but then removed (e.g. for disruption) from a meeting by an organiser r presenter can rejoin without being held in the lobby. Teams even puts a helpful rejoin button their screen all they have to do is press it to circumvent the remove.
Please confirm that it is a requirement to return to the lobby if you use rejoin that is being worked on,
otherwise, you will not be fixing the issue.
(I say one button rejoin for someone who was booted is just a good old fashioned bug)
Yes, I understand that with no authentication, they could rejoin with a new identity and the lobby monitor would have to make a judgment call but at least that takes a while - straight back in with a single press makes remove utterly pointless.
- I think so - they would be forced into the lobby if they tried to enter another way and you just would deny access.
thanks for confirming - that sound better.
I assume that with an anonymous guest (rather than an azure guest), the deny only works as long as the user doesn't just start an InPrivate window and join with another name. But, of course, in that case they'd end up in the lobby and might not get the benefit of the doubt (especially if it was the middle of the meeting and only one person had been removed)
- Hi all.
It has been fixed (partly) for us, if we remove a participant they are now forced to come back via the lobby whereas before they could just come straight back in. If you click the cross to deny access they get a message to say access denied. I have a screenshot of it in my laptop but not to hand.
