Some guests bypass lobby
marcosiefert Hello, it sounds as if you also had dial-in users? Check the settings for guest and participants in your meeting policy https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-policies-in-teams#meeting-policy-settings---participants--guests
Besides the portal you can use PowerShell with CsTeamsMeetingPolicy cmdlet
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/set-csteamsmeetingpolicy?view=skype-ps
I found this in the documentation link you have posted.
It is not clear for me why just some guests are affected but this could be the reason.
Perhaps only guests that have joined one of our Teams (and not just a SharePoint site or something) are seen as authenticated users and join the meeting directly.
marcosiefert If the users conditions are identical but still some of them are being held in lobby it makes me wonder if these are being treated as 'anonymous' for some reason. Sorry, but that's my best guess. Perhaps another member is reading this and have an idea. Hope it gets sorted!
