Hi @Tomoko ,

As a workaround, you can go to Meetings and enable anonymous users can join meeting option to complete it in Teams admin center. Then external user should copy the meeting link and click continue on the web. After that, users can join the meeting as anonymous by default.

If I misunderstand your requirements, please feel free to let us know! Thanks for your understanding!

@JimmyYang-MSFT Thank you for the reply. In that case, if the person have an Teams' account and its application in his company PC already, how is it going? Even he tries to open Teams with anonymous login, does the application automatically pop up with his account name?

It will not affect external users to join meeting as anonymous. You can join Teams meeting using "InPrivate Window" mode.

Even he tries to open Teams with anonymous login, does the application automatically pop up with his account name?

If you login in Teams client with your account then join Teams meeting, it will display your name in the meeting.

I have the same issue. what I want to do is to force everyone joining a meeting to always use anonymous. I want to only provide a link that forces all users to open up teams in a browser window. None of the users in the teams meeting should see each others email address.
