Use Waiting Room

The Waiting Room feature for Cornerstone Classroom classroom and webinar events allows leaders to join an event, hold participants in a separate room, and allow them entry into the event individually or simultaneously. While in the waiting room, participants cannot hear and broadcast audio or view content in the session. They cannot interact with the leader, presenter, and other users in the event.

When participants try to join a classroom or webinar event in the Cornerstone Classroom app or Modern Express client and if the Waiting Room feature is enabled, they are initially placed in the Waiting Room and are displayed the following interface with a message indicating that they are in the Waiting Room.

Waiting Room for participants using the App client

Waiting Room for participants using the Express client

In the Waiting Room, participants do not have access to any panels or actions in the client and so they can neither view nor hear the event content, nor interact with any other users in the event. They can join the event only when the leader allows them.

When participants try to join a classroom or webinar event and if the Waiting Room feature is disabled, then they are directly placed in the event.
