Recurring Meeting Not Working Like It Used To

[Swervin]

I have been using  a recurring meeting for 9 months.  The important setting is that participants can join before host and also someone can claim host.  Last week this stopped working and no one can get in until I (account holder) open the meeting.  I've check the settings and  it says 'participants can join anytime' but that's apparently  not working.  Any suggestions.

Just as a reference here is a link to the official documentation for this feature.

There is a bullet towards the bottom of this document that mentions the Waiting Room. I'm wondering if by chance this got turned-on.

• If Waiting Room is enabled in your meeting settings, Join Before Host will not work for your meetings, unless you have Waiting Room set to allow certain users to bypass.

Thanks a lot Jeff.  I did a google search and found the same solution.  I did have the waiting room enabled.  Problem solved
