Lobby Notifications for Participants NOT Organizers/Moderators

Copper Contributor

Is there a way to turn off "XXXX is Waiting in the Lobby" notifications when I join a meeting as a participant and not as an organizer/moderator?  I feel that I have no authority to "let them in" (I leave that to the organizer and/or moderator), so I really don't need to see everyone "ringing the doorbell," especially when you have 100 people coming in after I do.   Thanks.

Actually you can let them in, one of the many side effects of the "equal access" model used for Groups. But yes, they are annoying, and more than that, they can present a problem for meetings where people want to actually limit access - a "helpful" attendee can always approve a person that should not be allowed in the meeting. TL;DR - go vote this and all the other lobby-related requests on UserVoice :)
