Schedule Teams meetings for other people without attending
DarGar Hello, no worries. I get that this is causing headaches sometimes as it's kind of tricky depending on the tenant config and the user types involved. And there are quite some differences as to what's allowed and not for companies in general (policy, legal etc.) Basically it all comes down to your identity, are you trusted or not, and the lobby options that are set for the meeting.
When you have users outside of your own org. is when you usually have to give it some thought. The co-org. role you linked to will be a great addition, but will only work when being in the same organization. Meaning the co-organizer have to be in your org.
What would be the most seamless approach (not most secure) is to enable anonymous users can join a meeting and anonymous users can start a meeting. The first being under TAC Meeting settings and the latter in the meeting policy. And then set the lobby to allow 'everyone'.
Can also use PowerShell for the above.
Let me add the Lobby option "People I invite" too. See more details here
Change participant settings for a Teams meeting (microsoft.com)
ChristianJBergstrom Thanks Christian. In Meeting Policies, under Manage Policies we have 7 (presumably default) policies:
Open Access Yes
AllOn No
RestrictedAnonymousAccess No
AllOff No
RestrictedAnonymousNoRecording No
Kiosk No
Global (Org-wide default) No
I can (and did) only edit the first and last policy. Is there anything more I need to do?
Cheers,
Darryl
- The anonymous 'start a meeting' option that you've changed is located in the Teams policies and the other 'join a meeting' is under the Teams settings https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-settings-in-teams#allow-anonymous-users-to-join-meetings You only need to change the one's being used, the organizers, so perhaps not all users should have the former setting. Global being default. When changing these policies it takes some time before being active, have that in mind. Also, I added the "People I invite" link in my previous post, which solves many lobby scenarios.
