Description

There doesn't seem to be a way for a bot to admit another participant through the lobby. In desperation(!) I've tried getting the bot to invite the user when they are stuck in the lobby, but the invite doesn't get to the user. I've also tried seeing if it's possible to update the participant resource to set IsInLobby to false (using postman with a PUT on the participant resource), but again no joy.

The best I could do was to boot the participant from the call (DeleteAsync), and then invite them back into the call - but this isn't a great user experience for my scenario.

Is there any way for a bot to join a meeting, and let other participants through the lobby?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the participant resource and the DeleteAsync and invite operations described in the issue, then check whether the communications API exposes a bot operation for admitting lobby participants. Done means identifying a supported admission path or documenting that this scenario is not available.
