Hi @James Ren

Regarding your first question, currently Microsoft Teams does not support joining a meeting by just entering the meeting ID without a password or login. Users need to log in with their Microsoft account to join a Teams meeting. This is to ensure the security and privacy of the meeting.

For your second question, here's how you can set up a meeting so that some users can bypass the lobby and join the meeting directly:

From the Teams Admin Center:

• Sign in to the Microsoft Teams Admin Center.
• Go to Meetings > Meeting Policies.
• Create or edit an existing meeting policy.
• In the Participants and Guests section, find the Bypass Lobby option and set it to Everyone.

From the Teams client:

• When creating a meeting, tap Meeting Options.
• In the Who can bypass the lobby? option, select Everyone or People in your organization.

After setting this up, eligible users will be able to join the meeting directly without the host's approval. For more information, please refer to this reference.

This seems crazy to me, why would we hide that from being user-accessible? Having to contact an admin for everything is such an antiquated way of working. In Slack all you need to do is view a user profile (this is a global, read-only thing) and grab the user ID.

Why does Microsoft make everything difficult? This should be easily queryable by any member of any org without needing admin rights.
