How my event External attendees start the meeting without lobby?

Question

Dears,

I have created an event with online meeting for external attendees on Microsoft Teams and working fine and meeting has scheduled on their calendars successfully

but they cannot join the meeting because it's not started yet by the organizer.

Note: actually I don't need organizer to start the meeting , it is just an application.

just I need my application to schedule meetings to external attendees (outside my organization tenant) and start it without action from organizer.

Hello Mohomed,

Create onlineMeeting Graph API request payload has lobbyBypassSettings. It includes scope property, which is of type lobbyBypassScope. This specifies the types of participants that are automatically admitted into a meeting, bypassing the lobby.

you can set scope value as 'everyone' as below code. It will admit everyone into the meeting. possible values can be found on this link.
