Sometimes you wish to create a meeting outside of a Team. This could be because you wish to have an online meeting with a parent, student not in your class, or set of students. Meetings can still be recorded - recordings go into your Onedrive in a folder called recordings.

I have started a meeting - do I need to keep admitting people from the lobby?

No - you can turn the lobby off using the ellipses in the meeting and choosing 'Meeting options"

The recording goes to your OneDrive > Recordings. If you want people to have access to the recording, you will need to share the link with them
