"No One" choice in the lobby.
Please add the "No one" choice to the Meeting Options section, aka. The Lobby.

We are happy to announce the “Only me” option for “Who can bypass lobby?” setting is now available for Teams meetings. Details on the new lobby option can be found here, https://support.microsoft.com/office/change-participant-settings-for-a-teams-meeting-53261366-dbd5-45f9-aae9-a70e6354f88e.
Thanks!

This is required. It is leading to safeguarding and behaviour concerns. All schools require this. This was original said to be enable by mid-june?

Please please implement this! We are a local authority and we are reliant on Teams to conduct Council business, this includes some sensitive / confidential meetings such as school appeals. We really need Teams to be as secure as possible and for the organiser to have complete control. Thank you.

Teams is a great tool and it is being used very hard in our organization. Unfortunately this basic feature is not available currently. KIndly ask Microsoft ro imlement it as soon as possible to guarantee total control over call participants entree (there is some connection to data privacy law being issued in various contries). Thanks!

This has caused issues. A meeting occurred without notification that another participant had joined. This should be a very urgent addition to teams and a high priority

I have started delivering online lessons and pupils suddenly joining the lesson after it has started is very disruptive!

Just started using Teams - absolutely gob-smacked that the organiser cannot decide who comes in to a meeting. I see the first comment was nearly 12 months ago. Please address this more urgently.

I was hoping to use Teams for my online office hours, but will have to find something different if the students just appear in the room on their own. A lobby for everyone is necessary!
