Thanks to services like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, video collaboration and remote working are now as easy and convenient as ever. Shortly after the pandemic hit, the accessibility of all these services came under scrutiny as a number of malicious actors were able to hijack video calls and harass callers.
Microsoft Teams lets everyone bypass the lobby
Back then, all the popular services introduced a neat little feature they called “Waiting room.” Microsoft Teams called it “Lobby” instead, but its basic purpose remained the same: keeping unwanted attendees or intruders out of meetings.
While the lobby adds an extra layer of security to your Teams meetings, it used to make it a lot harder for attendees to get into meetings because they had to wait for the host to let them in. That’s why Teams lets you configure the lobby to automatically let trusted attendees into your meeting without making them wait.
In this post you can configure who can bypass the lobby in Microsoft Teams.
