Click New Online Meeting on the Outlook ribbon.

Invite a colleague from inside and outside your organization by adding their names to the To line.
Click Send.

Note: When your participants join the meeting, colleague inside your organization will bypass the lobby, and those outside your organization will be directed to the lobby.
