Anonymous users and dial-in callers must wait in the lobby until the meeting is started by someone in the organization or an external user from a trusted organization. \r\n\t\tAnonymous participants are classified as: \r\n\t\t* Participants who are not logged in to Teams with a work or school account. \r\n\t\t* Participants from non-trusted organizations (as configured in external access). \r\n\t\t* Participants from organizations where there is not mutual trust. \r\n\t\t**Note** : This setting only applies when Who can bypass the lobby is set to Everyone. If the anonymous users can join a meeting organization-level setting or meeting policy is Off, this setting only applies to dial-in callers. \r\n ",
