A participant joined my meeting 8 hours early. I never experienced that before.

I have the Waiting Room and the "must-enter-passcode" turned on.

The meeting starts at 7pm tonight. I plan to start it at 6:40. I'm the host.

When I start it, do you think the guy who joined at 11am will be in the waiting room, and I can let him in with no problem?

I have the "Allow participants to join anytime" option turned on (I thought that was only relevant for people who enter late - I didn't think it meant people could join early).

In Settings I have "Allow join before host" turned OFF.

Thanks.

Hello!

Your early attendee will likely leave the waiting room between now and the event, and can join in again at the time of the event.

If they do happen to stay in the waiting room all day, you'll be able to let them into the meeting when you'd like to at 7pm.

Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

Thanks! Rick

Rick, if an attendee tries to join the meeting a month early, could he/she still be in the Waiting Room on the correct day?

Also, if an attendee registers twice, does he/she count as two participants, if the host does not notice the duplication?

Thank you!

Linda
