Ensure anonymous users can't join a meeting

Why This Matters

Allowing anonymous users to join meetings without going through the lobby poses a security risk for any meeting that may contain sensitive information. Without this control, anyone with the meeting link can bypass the vetting process and enter unscheduled meetings, potentially exposing confidential discussions to unauthorized participants. IT administrators should enforce this setting to ensure only directly invited attendees can join, giving organizers the ability to screen unknown participants before admission.
