How do I modify the code in the MacOS sample app so that participants cannot enter the meeting room before the host? Thanks.

Hi Bert,

you need to disable “Join before host” when you are scheduling the meeting, not in the MacOS sample.&nbsp;

when you are scheduling, under Meeting Options, please leave “Enable join before host” unchecked.

Best
