3rd party encoder for events with outside participants

[Milwanke]

I know that a 3rd party encoder cannot be used if the event is set to "public". What if it's set to "People and Groups"? Can I then invite people from outside our Org and use a 3rd party encoder?

@Milwanke I'm exactly in the same situation and from what I found out is that it doesn't work.

If you select "People and Groups" you can invite external participants (but only if they are Guest in your Tenant), but you can't select the "External Encoder" anymore.

When you first select the "Externeal Encoder" and then invite an external participant, you can't select him anymore.
