Resolution

$x = New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name "JoinOrganizerMutedtoScheduledMeeting" -Value "True"

$y = Get-CsClientPolicy -Identity Policy_Identity

$y.PolicyEntry.Add($x)

Set-CsClientPolicy -Instance $y

Note In this command, "Policy_Identity"is a placeholder for the policy identity. For example, you can use "Global."
