Please add waiting room functionality?
Please add a waiting room system where guests can be held till they are admitted like Microsoft Teams and Zoom offer

This is also a necessary component for adoption as a teacher. I have to be able to admit people at the correct time, and also not admit people who have not paid or who have behaved abusively. Very anxious to see this added so I can drop Zoom!

Hallo zusammen, ich war anfangs echt frustriert, weil mein Wallet durch schlechtes Timing und kopflose Trades im Minutentakt geschrumpft ist. Ich wollte das Ganze endlich professioneller angehen und habe nach einer Plattform Ausschau gehalten, die hier in der Schweiz absolut flüssig läuft. Ich nutze jetzt Bessere Shoren Krypto Trading https://bessereshoren.pro/ für meine täglichen Marktbeobachtungen, und es macht die Sache einfach viel transparenter. Am Dienstag habe ich bei einer volatilen Phase mal etwas mehr gesetzt und direkt einen richtig fetten Gewinn eingestrichen. Wer eine saubere und stressfreie Lösung für seine Krypto-Moves sucht, ist hier richtig.

This is the most important feature of a software like this. I like most others I know will not adopt this until that’s done and working well.

Problem: Currently, Proton Meet has permanent rooms that are great for recurring workflows (e.g., schedule management with EHR systems like Sessions Health). However, they lack a proper gatekeeper function. For users working under HIPAA regulations, a permanent link with only password gating is a liability. If a client joins five minutes early while a previous session is still active, they could accidentally "crash" a private meeting. This creates a significant privacy breach risk.
Proposal: Introduce a Waiting Room / Lobby feature specifically for permanent rooms. The host receives a notification when someone attempts to join. Pending joiners remain in a "holding state" with a customizable message until the host manually admits them. Ideally, this would include a toggle ability allowing hosts to turn the Waiting Room on or off in the meeting settings.
While Proton has a significant advantage with privacy by design instead of by promise, this current limitations is unfortunately enough to prevent Proton Meet adoption for this use case.
