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
No, I work in Germany.
huh! it's spreading. i'd personally think it'd be rude to start before the scheduled time without everyone present
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.
You might have it turned off, but do the other participants?
No idea, but they have the option, just like me.
Sounds like a(nother) Teams issue.
