Thanks Christian, I've been through it several times to get them as locked down as much as possible, which they are, but that "Anonymous can join meetings" option appears tenant wide.

Is there a way to disable it per team via a PoSH cmdlet?

Zer0 Hello, sorry for the late reply! I've been experiencing issues not getting notifications when someone replies to my posts. So I'm chasing them down manually.

If your org. choose to keep the "Anonymous users can join a meeting" enabled, which is a Teams Meeting setting, you must ensure that the meeting organizers are using proper lobby settings. It can be controlled with policy or per-meeting using the meeting options (meaning you don't control the anon meeting setting but instead use lobby settings so anon users cannot attend).

It's described in detail here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keeping-students-safe-while-using-teams-for-distance-learning-f00fa399-0473-4d31-ab72-644c137e11c8?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#ID0EBBAAA=For_administrators under "Prevent anonymous users from joining".
