I set up a meeting but it seems it did not start automatically, like it always did before

I have a recurring meeting. This month I changed it from being an anytime meeting to one that starts and ends on a specific day of each month. I could not be at the meeting that took place yesterday on 28 May. Later tonight when I checked my email I saw a message from Zoom that one meeting participant had joined and Zoom was waiting for me to start the meeting. How do I learn if the meeting started - or if it didn't?

In previous months, there was no need to start the meeting. Anybody invited could automatically join. Is this no longer the case? Since I, myself, was not free to join I don't know exactly what happened.
