Team meetings with external participants (Guests)

Hello,

due to the current situation, we rely on the use of MS teams in our Office Education (we are a university) This works quite well so far. But now we have found a problem:

 

When we plan a meeting and send it via email (e.g. in an Outlook appointment), guest participants cannot skip the lobby. But we have defined this for "everyone" in the meeting options. So it should work. But apparently these settings are not saved or applied to the meeting.

 

Is this a known bug? Thanks for your support.

Best Regards
René

    In case you are the Office 365 Admin of your Tenant can you please check the following settings on the Tenant. 

     

    Login to Microsoft Office 365 Tenant 

    Navigate to Microsoft Teams Admin Centre

    Meeting Policies > Automatically Admit People

     

    This would allow all the Guest Users into the meeting. There were some on-going issues last week wherein the setting made on the Office 365 Tenant in Europe didn't saved as there were some on-going issues on the backend of Microsoft.

     

    Try to make the change in the settings again see if the issue re-occurs.
