If you have a meeting set up where people can "join at any time" and "waiting room", then how does that work? Does that mean that anyone that is not the host will just be in the waiting room until the host gets there?

Hi @terrandsmith, welcome to the Zoom community! Yes, that's correct — if you have waiting room enabled, then participants will be in the waiting room until the host lets them in. Hope this helps 😊
