    That would annoy me, since Teams shows a “meeting started” popup when the first person joins a meeting.

      but wouldn’t then people understand that the meeting has not yet begun? it’d be like a door opening at x:55 when the class starts at x+1:00, an open invitation to start gathering but the official start is in 5 minutes as scheduled

        Sometimes people take other people joining early as a cue that the meeting starts early, so there’s a chance I’d miss stuff. Our company is very good with meetings actually making sense, so missing 5 minutes can be quite annoying.

          okay question because i don’t know if i’m out of touch with corporate culture or just not american- are you amarican?

          because afaik in Europe it’d be considered rude to begin a meeting before a scheduled time, unless everyone who was supposed to be there is there and agrees that they’d like to start early

      I have all that turned off. A new chat pertaining to the meeting is added to the list of chats, but I don’t see that unless I’m looking at the Teams window.
