Zoom is making it easier to join meetings! The Waiting Room screen will now be the same screen for both the Waiting Room and if you join the Zoom meeting before the host is available to join. Note that the affected screens are outlined in blue.

With this process becoming streamlined, users will also have additional options for the Waiting Room screen, including allowing a video Preview.
For those interested in trying this feature out early, a temporary setting will be available on January 22nd. Click this link to COLI’s tutorial.
Otherwise, this streamlined process will become the default on April 22nd.
