The waiting room

Many meetings use a waiting room. You ask to join, and the host or a co-host lets you in.

While you wait#

You'll see Waiting for the host to let you in. The host has been notified, and you'll join automatically — keep the window open.

• Your camera preview stays visible so you can check how you look.
• Your mic and camera turn on when you're admitted.
• A timer shows how long you've been waiting.

To stop waiting, select Leave waiting room.

When you're admitted#

Glow Meetings shows "You're in — securing the connection" for a moment, then takes you into the meeting.

If you're not let in#

If the host declines, you'll see The host didn't let you in. You can select Ask to join again to go back to the waiting room, or Back to leave.

Locked meetings#

A host can lock a meeting. When it's locked, everyone new waits to be admitted, even if the meeting normally lets people in directly.

Rejoining#

If you leave a meeting and rejoin while it's still running, you may wait in the waiting room again. If your connection drops, Glow Meetings reconnects you without sending you back to the waiting room. See Connection problems.
