How to Join a Teams Meeting using Only the Meeting ID without password or user sign-in
- Oct 25, 2024
A passcode is also required for security reasons along with meeting id for users to join a Teams meeting.
- Meeting ID and Passcode: Users can join a Teams meeting by entering the meeting ID and passcode. This can be done through the Teams app or the web interface.
- Joining via Teams App: Open the Teams app, click on the "Join with ID" option, enter the meeting ID and passcode, and click "Join Meeting".
- Joining via Web: Users can also join a meeting through the web by clicking on the meeting link, entering the meeting ID and passcode, and selecting their audio and video preferences.
Bypassing the Lobby from the Client Side
To automatically bypass the Teams meeting lobby from the client side, you can configure the meeting settings programmatically or through the Teams admin center:
- Programmatic Configuration: Yes, if you are creating online meeting, you can configure the meeting settings programmatically to allow attendees to bypass the lobby and start the meeting. When creating or updating the online meeting using the Microsoft Graph API, you can set the
lobbyBypassSettings
to allow everyone to bypass the lobby. ThelobbyBypassSettings
with"scope": "everyone"
ensures that all participants can bypass the lobby and join the meeting directly. Please refer to documentation. - Teams Admin Center: You can manage lobby options in the Teams admin center by navigating to Meetings > Meeting policies and configuring the settings under Participants & guests to allow specific participants to bypass the lobby.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have a follow-up question: to configure the meeting settings programmatically to bypass the lobby, is it possible to modify the lobbyBypassSettings for the meeting if we are not the host of the meeting please? Thank you.

sharedstudios , Only the meeting organizer or co-organizers can modify the lobby settings. If you are not the host or a co-organizer, you will not be able to change the
lobbyBypassSettings.

We learned that in Cisco Webex Video Integration for Microsoft Teams, a 10-digit meeting ID can be used to join a Teams meeting without a passcode and bypass the lobby. Is there a way to achieve the same functionality using the Microsoft Graph API please? Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

sharedstudios , there doesn't seem to be any such functionality available. To achieve your requirements, we recommend you give your feedback in Teams Feedback Portal.
