However, there are two ways to start a meeting on which all of the participants use a phone to dial in:. Option 1 : By default, if the meeting organizer and all participants are joining a meeting using a phone, the meeting organizer needs to input her Audio Conferencing PIN to start it. Callers get asked if they want to authenticate as the organizer of a given meeting when they dial the phone number of an online meeting. All participants that join the meeting via dial-in before the organizer starts will be placed in the lobby and will listen to music on hold.
For Skype for Business meetings, once the organizer starts it by inputting his or her Audio Conferencing PIN, all participants in the lobby will automatically join the meeting.
For Microsoft Teams meetings, the participants will join the meeting according to the value of the automatically admit people setting in the organizer's meeting policy. If the setting is enabled for a given organizer, then all meetings scheduled by that organizer can be started before the organizer inputs the Audio Conferencing PIN. When this setting is enabled, the meeting will start as soon as the first participant joins it via a dial-in phone number, and the first participant won't be put in the lobby.

These conferences are completely managed by a remote telephone operator. Callers are greeted by a person that has the ability to validate their names or meeting information before being put into their respective teleconference meeting. Operators often engage with the meeting organizers and leaders as the conference is about to begin to reconfirm how it should be managed just prior the call start. An example of how a conference can be managed is for an Operator to put all the meeting leaders into their own special side conference usually called a sub conference until the meeting begins.
As meeting attendee callers call in that are not leaders, they are often put into a waiting room and they hear music until a call begins. So, presenters have private meeting time which is often very important in the minutes leading up to a meeting start.
