A new setting is becoming available for Teams meeting policies to control how dial-in users are handled when joining the meeting.

With this new setting, dial-in users are bypassing the lobby by default.

You can control it by editing the Allow dial-in users to bypass the lobby setting in the meeting policy from the portal
