Cannot minimize the 'Please wait for the host to start this meeting window' in Ubuntu 20.04

[SaiVijayChandan]

I have tried a lot of ways to minimize the 'Please wait for the host to start this meeting' window. It is annoying and I cannot watch anything until the meeting starts because the popup blocks quarter of my screen. Please help!

Hi! You can click the " - " on the upper right corner of the zoom window.

I don't seem to find it. Only the 'x' quit button is in the top right corner.

That works for about 10 seconds until the modal moves itself back to the center of your screen. 😢

I have the same problem and it's driving me nuts.

Happy Halloween! You can make your laptop into TASK VIEW, click (windows+tab) or (launchtab+tab) and make a new desktop (Desktop 2). You can do your work in desktop 2. When the meeting start, you will see the windows of zoom. Have a good day!

This is an incredibly obnoxious "feature" of zoom.  It's nice to log in 5 or 10 minutes in advance but this makes it basically impossible to do that because it's so annoying.  No solution I see.  Nice.
