Admit attendees in the lobby of Microsoft Teams meetings using a Cisco room endpoint joined via VIMT/CVI

A Cisco room endpoint registered to the Webex cloud is able to join a Microsoft Teams meeting as a co-host via CVI/VIMT using the lobby bypass feature.

However, the room endpoint is unable to admit attendees into the meeting from the lobby.
This means users must bring their laptops into meeting rooms to admit attendees using their Microsoft Teams client.

We would like the ability for Webex registered Cisco room endpoints joining MS Teams meetings via VIMT/CVI to have the ability to admit attendees waiting in the lobby from the Room (e.g. participants list on Touch10 panel).

Whilst it may not seem critical, it severely impacts the meeting experience when trying to deliver an integrated and easy process, not to mention the general annoyance of always needing to remember your laptop and joining the meeting from your laptop as well as the room (and muting your laptop!).
