I recently tried to go into a meeting using the Join the Meeting link. But I also tried to use the Meeting ID and Passcode. I am the organizer along with one other person. We have many participants that bypass the lobby. Once in, the START MEETING button appears at the top right.

What happened is BEFORE the organizer (me) went in, one of the participants clicked START MEETING. I was not then able to even get in with the Join the Meeting link nor by entering the meeting ID and the passcode. I got a screen that said I had to register but then when I tried to register, the REGISTER button was greyed out. At the end, I (as the trainer/organizer) was not able to get in to deliver my training.

My colleague and I tested this with different meeting links and it seemed the consistent problem was if a participant clicked START MEETING prior to the organizer getting into the meeting.

Is there a way to NOT allow participants to actually click START MEETING?
