To adjust meeting settings Click on the three dots (“More options”) and go to Meeting options
The default meeting settings will allow everyone that has been invited to bypass the lobby (providing they login from their university account). This will avoid students disrupting the meeting if they join late.
It will also allow everyone to present.
REMEMBER to check the settings to ensure they are as you prefer, although this can be changed during the meeting.
