When your session’s guest policy is set to ask the moderator, arrivals wait in the lobby. BigBlueButton 4.0 consolidates that review into a single pop-up, so a class arriving all at once does not mean thirty separate decisions.

​
Review the lobby

Everyone waiting appears in the list in the order they arrived. From there you can:
  • Accept one person, and they join the session immediately.
  • Accept all — admit everyone currently waiting.
  • Deny one person, or deny everyone.
  • Send a message to someone who is waiting — useful when you need to ask who they are before letting them in.

Stop being asked

The pop-up also offers a remember allow all option. Choose it and BigBlueButton stops asking about arrivals for the rest of the session — they join directly. You can get the same result by changing the guest policy itself to Always accept. Rememberchoice
Always deny turns arrivals away. Someone who is denied needs a new invitation to join.
