Set meeting lobby options

Lock down the upcoming all-hands meeting so external guests cannot bypass the lobby. Configure lobby so only invited staff can bypass the lobby; everyone else must wait. Disable anonymous join. Make sure presenters can admit people during the meeting and that the meeting link is in the calendar invite only. Apply these settings to the single all-hands on Friday afternoon.

Before I apply lobby settings to the company all-hands, surface the trade-offs for the hosts. Summarize who will be prevented from joining directly, explain how to handle VIP external guests, and recommend whether to allow 'presenters' the right to admit people or to route admission through one security host. Point out any actions hosts must take at start time so there’s no admission chaos.

During last month’s all-hands an uninvited external joined briefly and caused a distraction. The exec team is nervous and wants tighter lobby controls, but marketing invites external partners sometimes. I don’t know whether to require all externals to register or to let presenters admit people on the fly. What’s the likely balance between security and friction and the fastest policy I can implement that stops gatecrashes without blocking legitimate partners?

Before every large meeting we scramble with ad-hoc lobby tweaks, which stresses hosts and sometimes blocks partners. I want one new habit so meetings start without security drama. What default lobby configuration and admission workflow should I adopt for company-wide meetings, and what simple pre-meeting checklist will prevent last-minute adjustments?
