Lobby and Permissions

Teams meetings often have a lobby:

If you're the meeting organizer, you can bypass the lobby by allowing "Everyone" to join directly in meeting options.

Recording Quality

Teams recording features:

  • Uses Teams live captions when available
  • High-quality audio capture

Common Issues

Troubleshooting Teams recordings:

  • Bot stuck in lobby → Ask host to admit
