Dear Alayah J. Rojas,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

You can achieve this by configuring your Microsoft Teams settings to allow only authenticated users to join meetings by default, while still permitting guests to join specific meetings when necessary.

Set Default Policy for Authenticated Users:
- Sign in to the Microsoft Teams admin center.
- Select Meetings > Meeting policies.
- Either create a new policy or edit an existing one.
- Set Allow anonymous users to join meetings to Off. This ensures that only authenticated users can join meetings by default. Please refer to External participants (users) are blocked from joining a Teams meeting - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
Allow Guests for Specific Meetings:
- When scheduling a meeting, go to the meeting options.
- In the meeting options, set Who can bypass the lobby? to Everyone or People in my organization and guests. This allows guests to join the meeting without compromising the default security settings. Refer to Manage anonymous participant access to Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls (IT admins) - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
- Invite the guests by entering their email addresses. They will receive a link to join the meeting.
Manage Guest Access:
- In the Teams admin center, go to Users > Guest access and set Allow guest access in Teams to On. Configure the settings under Calling, Meeting, and Messaging to control what guests can do. Refer to Is there a setting to only allow certain users to admit participants - Microsoft Community [29a8-377e-b3d-e4a3]

By following these steps, you can maintain a secure environment by default while still allowing flexibility for specific meetings where guest access is required.

I hope the above information will be helpful. Please feel free to let me know if there are any updates or if I've got you wrong. If still have any concern, please let me know so I can provide further suggestion.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation. Thanks for your precious time!
