If you are worried about anonymous users joining any meeting, then go ahead and disable this setting. There's only one setting in here to worry about, and that is Anonymous users can join a meeting. Moving back to the Meetings menu, let's move over to Meeting settings. For the highest security, I would set this to False. If this is set to False, then the dial-in users will wait in the lobby until a user from the organization joins the meeting and admits them. If this is set to True, dial-in users will automatically join the meeting once an organizer joins the meeting. If you are allowing everyone to join meetings automatically, then there is no need for dial-in users to wait in the lobby. This can only be set if the previous setting is not set to Everyone, which makes sense. Lastly, we have Allow dial-in users to bypass the lobby. Just understand this opens up the meeting for anonymous people to join automatically. If your users have a problem admitting people from the lobby or dislike the user experience, then use this option. This will still prevent anonymous people from joining automatically.įinally, there is the Everyone option. If you have open federation, this might be a problem, but if you have a select group of external organizations in your allow list, presumably you trust them to join your meetings automatically. The next most secure option is Everyone in your organization and federated organizations. Those users will wait in the lobby until admitted by the organizer or presenter. This means that only authenticated, internal users can automatically join the meeting external or anonymous users cannot automatically join. The most secure option is Everyone in your organization. Everyone in your organization and federated organizations.
It has three options in the dropdown menu: The next setting is Automatically admit people. My recommendation is to disable this setting. This also means they can dial into the meeting before or after it begins and sit on the conference bridge. If this is enabled, an unauthenticated person can dial into your meeting and start it before anyone else joins. The first setting is a big one: Let anonymous people start a meeting.
