Waiting for Host window will not stay minimized

I am in the waiting room for a meeting. It says "Please wait. The webinar will begin soon." I have hit the minimize button that is next to the x that closes it. It minimizes but then pops up again within a minute or two every time I minimize it. It is really bothering me. How do I fix this? It was hard to type this because that window keeps popping back up and covering this text box...

    The geniuses at Zoom believe this incredibly stupid behavior is a feature and refuse to change it or at least make it optional. Waiting for a meeting to start is clearly the most important thing in the universe, way more important than some trivial work you may want to get done during that time.

      Without competition, monopolies like Zoom do not have to produce a superior product or respond to consumer complaints. Consumers have no alternative, which is also why getting to this webpage required clicking through 3 zoom screen popups.
