Auto Enter meeting When started

[sciversimon]

Hi, Not sure if you can do this but we have a setting that keeps all participants in the waiting room until we start the meeting and then manually admit all in the waiting room to the meeting.

My question is can you set the meeting to keep everybody in the waiting room until the meeting starts and we have allowed people to enter and subsequent people (Who are late) can auto enter the room as soon as they connect?

Current procedure:

Start Meeting

Allow co host to enter and allow them to be cohost

At the advertised time allow those in the waiting room to enter.

once the meeting is in progress manual allow late comers to leave the waiting room and enter.

I want to change the last line to read once participants are allowed to enter (post the first manual authorisation) all late comers can just enter once they make an attempt to join.

Thanks.

@sciversimon - There is not a setting for that, but you can turn off the waiting room once you admit everyone so that anyone else that joins comes right in.  To do this, click on the Participants button at the bottom of the screen, then on the 'More' button at the bottom of the participant list and unselect the 'Enable waiting room' option.
