Need a _personal_ notification sound when someone enters a meeting

Before you answer "just turn on notifications when someone enters a meeting" that is NOT what I'm asking for. I don't own the meeting, I can't turn it on. Also, I don't want everyone to be notified.

What I want is personal. I want to be able to enter a meeting, and go about working on other things while I wait for people to arrive. The meeting window will be covered by other windows I'm working in, so what I want is a little bing so I know when someone else shows up.

Seems like a simple and obvious feature to me, and I'm surprised it isn't already implemented. Any ideas? Please, Zoom, can you add this simple feature?

Zoom's notification via audio is restricted to host and co-hosts. If the host will trust you ask to be a co-host. Beyond that requires the use of developer tools.

Yes, thank you, but I already know that the current Zoom feature set does not do what I'm asking.

I am asking for a new feature, that is unrelated to meeting settings at all. It is a completely local to my computer notification when someone joins a meeting.

The very good reason for this is that the meeting window may be covered or on a different display, and otherwise I have no way of knowing when someone joins.

Again, this isn't related at all to who owns the meeting, or who is the host or co-host, this is just me, a lowly participant, needing to know when someone joins a meeting without having to keep the meeting window in the foreground all of the time.
