Participants in waiting room not showing up

I have a new Pro account and have enabled waiting room for my personal meeting room. I have tested it out with a number of people using my personal link - they are in my waiting room, but they never show up for me. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix? I've already submitted a support ticket, but thought I'd ask here.

It's under schedule meeting and it says "

Use Personal Meeting ID (PMI) when starting an instant meeting"

This happens in my Zoom room too. Could you let us know if you find a solution? Thanks!

This happened to me twice today - I'm a psychologist and my I depend on a VOIP service for my living so I would really like to get this sorted

Was there ever a resolution to this? I am having the same problem. It's so frustrating. i am a therapist and see several people a day via zoom

There was a resolution and it's very simple, or at least it was for me. I logged in to zoom through the web browser, and in the zoom account there is an option where it says "Use Personal ID for meetings". It's just a small box so you'll have to search for it. For me, that box was unchecked which means that every time I was starting a zoom room, I was starting a new room completely unconnected to my personal ID. So my clients were in my personal room, but i was somewhere different each time. Since that box got checked, I've had no issues.

Yes! That sounds exactly right. I think I may have found it. Do you know where on the web page it is...which section it is under?
