[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a ridiculous question, but WHY do people start Teams/Zoom/etc. meetings 5-15 minutes early. And if you are one of those people, do you expect the other people in the meeting to hop in as soon as you start it?

I prefer wait until the exact time that the meeting is supposed to start, that is why there is a start time.[/quote]

Why do you care?  I run a lot of Zoom meetings.  I always open up the room 5-15 minutes early.  There are usually several people who log in during that time.  Most of them mute themselves and turn off their video; they want to be on time and give themselves wiggle room in case there are technology problems.  I actually prefer the early birds to the bozos who zoom in right on the dot, and want a lot of attention right then and there.  Yes, we see you and no you don't need to start babbling in the chat box saying hi to everyone because, sugar, the meeting as started and now you're a distraction cuz you're doing your queen schtick, which is why I or my co-host muted you and turned off your video.   :wink: [/quote]
