    We're in the same boat. As a training provider we can't use Teams for anything until we can keep users in a lobby and let them in/kick them out as required. A colleague had a meeting today in which he wanted someone to come in for a short presentation, and then leave. Currently the organiser has no control of when they can join.

    If this feature can also make sure people that are admitted cannot see the chat function when leaving the meeting that would be amazing!!

    Why is this not a thing yet? My organization won't let me use Teams Live for a large meeting so I need to be able to keep everyone in the lobby before a presentation.

    Yes... Please add NO One feature in who can bypass lobby... So that we can admit students only after teacher start meeting.

    Some people in my organization let everyone reading detail information in Outlook calendar.
    An other people have open his calendar and clic to Teams Meeting links and join the meeting …
    I hope have this option implement quikly

    I'd like to see the no-one and also a Presenters only option so that one person can organise / schedule the meeting with the "Presenters bypass the lobby" option so that then the organiser who might be an administraor / PA doesn't have to attend the meeting to let people in. The organiser can set specific people as presenters and then they can also bypass the lobby while ensuring that attendees remain in the lobby until such time as the presenters are ready to start allowing in attendees.

    As an adjunct there should also be a "lock the meeting" option to prevent others from then joining once the meeting is in progress.

    We need "NO ONE" to join or to wait in the lobby until admitted, ASAP. We need to keep kids safe by not allowing them to join a meeting without the teacher. PLEASE make this a top priority very soon!

    Please give this request priority - this missing feature presents a grave security risk for our organization.

    Would love to see this option asap.

    I need to be the only one able to start a specific meeting. I need it set up so people can't start the meeting at random times and then everyone in the company gets a pop-up notification.
