Microsoft Teams - Meetings with external participants

[Bankesy]

Good morning,

 

Was looking into an issue whereby this organisation couldn't have Teams meetings with external participants, "this meeting doesn't allow guests" error.

 

Did some digging and have switched on the following settings in the following locations which appear to have fixed it but I'm wondering if this is the correct fix:

Meetings settings>Anonymous users can join a meeting

Meeting policies>Global (Org-wide default)>Anonymous users can join a meeting

 

My thinking is whether or not these should actually be off and maybe there's a way of treating externals as not anonymous or guests? Or how to allow meetings for guests (assuming that's different to anonymous).

 

Anybody got any advice or guidance on any of that please?

 

Thanks
