Prevent users from joining a meeting
Add a setting to prevent users who are not a member of the Team/O365 Group from joining the Teams meeting. This setting should exist in the Outlook client as well as the Teams client, web app, and mobile app.
Similarly, prevent people who were not invited directly by the meeting organizer from joining the meeting. (e.g., meeting invite was forwarded or meeting link was copied and sent to user who was not directly invited).

Perhaps can consider to ride on the people in organization (their user account) as permission control to join a meeting. Same like Permission settings on Sharepoint's doc library. Those who are not in the invited list will not able to join the meeting. For outsider, they can be provided with PIN in order to join the meeting.

This is a serious problem when there is a confidential meeting being held and somehow someone got the link to join the meeting as they wish without any secure code.

Otra sugerencia, cunado se graba una reunión (clase) y estoy usando una pizarra externa para explicar a mis alumnos, esta grabación se da en 1/4 de pantalla, lo que dificulta su revisión para los alumnos que no asistieron a clases

Se solicita que los alumnos no ingresen o inicien la reunión antes que el profesor

This is a severe security issue. While I appreciate Microsoft's efforts to increase productivity, they should think through security. Sadly security comes only as a plugin.

This is a huge security issue in Teams..
Anyone with the link could essentially join the meeting before its held and view all the contents during the meeting without anyone knowing.
In Teams administration you can apply a setting that sends external users with a link to a Lobby instead of directly in the meeting. This feature would solve the problem entirely if it can apply to internal users aswell.

Serious security issue here:
- The Purple JOIN link can be shared with anyone in the organisation
- No lobby feature available in the Admin console or meeting options that prevents a meeting starting before the host joins
- The purple join link can be used OUTSIDE the scheduled meeting time and initiated by ANYONE with the purple join link
- Even when a meeting is CANCELLED the purple meeting link that is sent in Outlook remains ACTIVE, the call can still be started at ANY TIME without TEACHER CONSENT.Reported to Microsoft, serious security issue for their call feature in Teams. Worse than Zoom bombing as there is no way of preventing this from the Admin settings.

Is there a way of preventing Users from joining a meeting before the scheduled start?

This is essentially internal Teams Bombing - need a way to force anyone not specifically invited into a lobby - a private meeting basically

We have this very same problem in our organisation where people from our ORG join meetings they haven't been invited to, just because they know that that'll find a person in that meeting which they would like to talk to.

We have this problem where students are joining past meetings to chat. We would like to be able to only the organiser to be able start and able to end the meeting so students can't join it after the meeting is ended.

I'm honestly astonished that this has not already been addressed. This seems like such a basic function to have been overlooked. Microsoft, we really need the ability to manage who attends our meetings, beyond the limited lobby functions.

We had this issue just today where someone joined a management meeting because someone forwarded them a calendar appointment as an FYI. Hard to get my staff to trust the software if anybody can jump into a meeting if they have a link...should be able to limit it to invited attendees only!

Agreed, experienced it today that person quit from meeting rejoined the meeting without anyone in the room acknowledged his present. Luckily, the current topic he overheard is not a private or classified one. He is not a team member but was called in for discussion of some topic and was removed but somehow he was rejoined. It's very serious to have a feature to block or prevent rejoined without approval especially person who is removed from the meeting.

We need this for securing a meeting which only the organizer controls
This may be users Outside the O365 Tenant also -

I agree this is a must to address recent security concerns with other apps like zoom. Many people have reached out to me on how lock down meetings on who can and cannot join. Please implement this yesterday!

i fully agree, we need this too. It's a security issue! Imaging, you have a board of directors meeting held in teams, members talk about things a normal employee should not hear -> how can we protect these sensitiv information?

We need to prevent people -who has the meeting link but not invited- joining the Teams meeting.
At least there should be an option as "people in my team/channel" in "Who can bypass the lobby ?" section. -

Meeting hosts should have the option of creating and hosting a meeting that only includes specifed and authenticated users from their tenant.
