MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You are a Teams administrator for a large enterprise. The company wants to implement a new Teams meeting policy to control meeting features. You need to configure the policy to allow only organizers to bypass the lobby, and to prevent attendees from using reactions. Which two settings should you configure in the Teams meeting policy? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse meeting chat settings with reaction settings, or thinking that lobby bypass is controlled by a participant lobby setting rather than 'Who can bypass the lobby'.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set 'Who can bypass the lobby' to 'Organizers only'.
To allow only organizers to bypass the lobby, you must set 'Who can bypass the lobby' to 'Organizers only'. To prevent attendees from using reactions, you must set 'Allow reactions' to 'Off'. These two settings are part of the Teams meeting policy and directly address the requirements. Other options either affect unrelated features or are not valid settings.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set 'Who can bypass the lobby' to 'Organizers only'.
Why this is correct
This setting controls which participants can bypass the lobby. Setting it to 'Organizers only' ensures that only meeting organizers can bypass the lobby, while attendees must wait in the lobby. This directly meets the requirement to allow only organizers to bypass the lobby. It is configured in the Teams meeting policy under 'Participants & guests'.
- ✗
Set 'Allow meeting chat' to 'Disabled'.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling meeting chat prevents all chat during meetings, which is not the requirement. The requirement is to prevent reactions, not chat. This setting would also affect organizers and is too broad. It does not address the lobby bypass requirement either. Therefore, it is not correct for this scenario.
- ✓
Set 'Allow reactions' to 'Off'.
Why this is correct
The 'Allow reactions' setting controls whether participants can use reactions in meetings. Setting it to 'Off' prevents attendees from using reactions, fulfilling the requirement. This setting is found in the Teams meeting policy under 'Participants & guests'. It applies to all participants except the organizer, who may still have control depending on other settings.
- ✗
Set 'Allow IP video' to 'Off'.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling IP video turns off video in meetings, which is unrelated to reactions or lobby bypass. This setting would degrade the meeting experience and is not required by the scenario. It does not meet either requirement and is therefore incorrect.
- ✗
Set 'Allow participants to use the lobby' to 'Enabled'.
Why it's wrong here
This setting, if it existed, would control whether participants can use the lobby, but it is not a valid setting in Teams meeting policies. The correct setting for lobby control is 'Who can bypass the lobby'. This option is a distractor and does not fulfill the requirements.
