Allow only invited people to participate a Teams-meeting?

A new lobby setting is coming to Teams Meeting Options. Microsoft is adding "People I invite" as an option to "Who can bypass the lobby?" setting.

Once enabled, only participants invited to a meeting by the organizer can directly participate the meeting. All others are sent to the lobby.

This gives organizations full control over the meeting invites they send out and makes it easier for anyone invited to join.

Activate new lobby setting?

In Microsoft Teams , navigate to meeting options -> Who can bypass the lobby -> "People I invite."
