Schedule Teams meetings for other people without attending
CaryAbbott We have this too.
As a recruitment agency, we need to be able to set up all the interviews but not be present.
Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
Hello, as already explained this can be accomplished. You can actually use this being rolled out right now https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=68730 and is by far the easiest way to do it! (People I invite)
And rather soon it going to be even easier when the introduce the co-organizer meeting role https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=81391
Anyway, if you haven't got the above setting yet it's all about who you invite (1) your tenant Team settings for anonymous join (2), meeting policies (3) and the particular meeting set up (4). Let's say I want to schedule a meeting with two anonymous accounts (i.e. Gmail) but I am not going to be able to attend, but I have to schedule it as no one else can and no one from my org. can attend either. As I am the organizer I need to configure the meeting options so it fit the scenario and allow "everybody" to automatically go trough the lobby and let anonymous start a meeting. If not choosing that they are gonna end up in the lobby only as there's no one to let them in and they can't initiate the meeting. In this scenario my org. must allow for anonymous join, anonymous can start a meeting and everyone can present in the meeting options "Anyone who has access to the meeting link will join the meeting as a presenter".

Note the "You won't be able to select someone from a different org as a presenter." This can instead be changed during the meeting by an organizer/presenter (role).
