In a Teams meeting, meeting organizers and co-organizers can choose to lock their meetings to prevent subsequent join attempts. Anyone attempting to join a locked meeting from any device will be informed that the meeting is locked.
When a meeting is locked, no one else will be able to join, but invitees can still access the meeting chat, the recording, and other meeting info.
After joining the meeting:

When a meeting is locked, no additional participants can join, but invitees can still access the meeting chat, recording, and other meeting info.
