4. As the host or co-host, you will need to admit users into your meeting using the Participants button, either one-by-one or using the Admit All.

Note: Attendees cannot join a meeting until a host admits them individually from the waiting room. If Waiting room is enabled, the option for attendees to join the meeting before the host arrives is automatically disabled.
