Webex App | Notify the host if you join a meeting before them

Feedback?

If you find yourself waiting in the lobby, click Notify host to let the meeting host know you’re ready to join. The host receives an email with a link to start the meeting. When several people click Notify host from the lobby, the host only gets one email so you don't have to worry about spamming them.

Notify the host if attendee join a meeting before the host

This feature is available in both default and custom lobbies in meetings on the Webex Suite meeting platform.

If you're a host already in the meeting, you'll continue to receive visual notification when someone is waiting in the lobby. If you've opted to play a sound when someone is waiting in the lobby, you'll continue to hear a sound alert.
