And since we are talking about meetings, if you would like to secure your Teams meetings by stopping latecomers or even uninvited guests, we got you covered.

How can I lock my Teams meeting?

Basically, anyone that tries to join the meeting after you already blocked it will receive a notification telling them that it will be impossible to join, as the meeting is locked. However, people who were invited to the meeting but are unable to join can still access the meeting chat, recording, and other info. And if the lock is no longer necessary, you can easily unlock the meeting, thus allowing everyone else to join. For this to work, make sure you’re signed into Teams with your work or school account. That’s pretty much all you have to do if you want to secure your Teams meeting. However, you might want to remove this lock and permit other people to join.
