Hi [johntyty2](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/johntyty2),

Thanks for the post. You are seeing this because the waiting room feature has enabled([https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room)), if you disabled the waiting room, participants should be able to join the meeting immediately. To protect your meetings, it is recommended to have the waiting room feature on so that the host could control who could join the meeting. If you do not want it, you may disable it in the web portal.

Thanks!

Hi [prabhakar.sharma](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/prabhakar.sharma),

You could disable the waiting room feature on the web portal, you may find more information in the support page: [https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room)

Please note that using a waiting room would allow the host to filter out unexpected participants so please be aware of that before you disable it.

Thanks!
