In other meetings on the internet, there have been instances of participants maliciously inviting outside parties to join, and they can be quite unpleasant, vulgar and/or disruptive. By default Google Meets only allows MIN201.org email addresses to access the meeting. However, sometimes a staff member may use their personal email (Gmail email accounts in particular) to access a meeting and it will ask the host if they want to allow access into the meeting. Also if a meeting attendee invited a non-MIN201 affliatted attendee, then there is no way to know who invited them.
