When you create a new Skype for Business meeting, you decide who gets into the meeting directly, and who waits until you let them in. We recommend that you change these options for large meetings, or when you have confidential or sensitive info. You can set the following options in a new Skype for Business meeting by clicking Meeting Options on the Meeting tab.

Anyone (no restrictions) |

Note: If any option other than Anyone is checked, presenters using the Skype for Business desktop client won't be able to see the dialed-in users waiting in lobby and admit them to the meeting.
Resource accounts such as meeting rooms, conference rooms, and system accounts have a slightly different behavior for lobby options.
