Manage waiting attendees through meeting lock functionality

Is it possible to monitor a list of people in the waiting room of a locked meeting and admit them individually? Or can those in the waiting room be admitted to a meeting only "in bulk"?

    Is this feature planned for development? It’s extremely useful and already available in tools like Google Meet and Zoom. We're currently considering switching platforms due to the lack of this functionality.

    We are considering moving from ZOOM to GOTO MEETING because there are a lot of features that are great which the others do not have, however, the ability to see the waiting room and admit from a waiting room would be a great feature to have. I know there are break out rooms now but this functionality would be better.

    Status update: This feature is not currently planned to be included in our roadmap for this year. We will continue to keep the Idea open for comments and kudos. Your suggestions and support are highly appreciated, and we encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.

    Krishnakumar  Great idea!  

     

    I'll move this one over to the 'Ideas' section for later review.

    Hello
     
     I would like to request/suggest the GoToMeeting to have an option in the waiting room to admit the participants one by one. We are using 13 no's of GoToMeeting Business Plan licenses to conduct the online classes for more than a year. Because at present, once the meeting is locked all participants will be in the waiting room, if we want to admit even one participant, we have unlocked the meeting where all others are also automatically getting in the meeting room which is creating a lot of problems. 
     
    This is a basic feature available in all other platforms such as Cisco, Zoom, etc. Please look into this and do the needful at the earliest.

    We really need the ability to allow individuals into a meeting as well.  This has caused us much pain when the wrong people get into a meeting.
