Hi all,
is it possible to organize a meeting in teams, where external participants can join the meeting and start it without the organizer being present?
We place professionals and our clients often hold meetings with potential candidates, especially at these times, but we don't have to be present for this. Therefore we are happy to "host" the meetings for possible interviews.
Sometimes our consultants are also unable to be present, even though this may have been the original intention. In this case it would also be convenient if the meeting could simply take place anyway.
We have set this up in our GlobalPolicy as follows, but external participants cannot start the meeting.
Can we do anything else, or is the function simply not available?
I appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Tim
@Mitchell Bakker we only use the Global Policy as standard throughout the organisation.
@Christopher Hoard we tested that too, even if we set "Bypass Lobby" to "Everyone", the external attendees have to wait for someone to start the meeting and come in.
The external participants only use the web version of teams.
Thanks for the answers!
@Rob Ellis thanks for the advice.
I had double-checked it, re-assigned myself and looked at my assigned policies, but only the Global Policy is assigned in my profile (as it should be).
Unfortunately, a guest still cannot join the meeting without me. I get the message that a guest has started the meeting, but that's it.
