Looks like there is a new setting restoring the ability to join a meeting without logging in!

> **Only authenticated users can join meetings from Web client**  
> The participants need to authenticate prior to joining meetings from web client

Here’s the odd thing. I tested this and was indeed able to join a meeting without logging in now via the web client in one account, but it didn’t work for another situation.

Can more people test this and let us know if it works as expected?
