Hello all

 

Is it possible to set up a recurring call and enable attendees to join before the host?  I don't want it on all meetings - just certain ones?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

When you create a new meeting, in the security options, make sure to enable the passcode and not the waiting room, and in the advanced options, make sure to enable allow participants to join anytime. If it's setup like that, participants will be able to join the meeting anytime, even if the host is not there.
