Hi christyap1,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! Hosts and account admins can customize the waiting room experience for meetings & webinars, allowing customization of the image, text, and other waiting room assets (like "ads") that attendees see before joining each session and providing a more engaging and branded joining experience for attendees. For your use-case, you may want to remove that video ad or image ad that shows while your participants are waiting for the meeting/webinar to start. Here's a KB related to the topic, Enabling and Customizing the Waiting Room.
