Waiting room
Knock sent. The guest waits. The owner admits or declines. In the protocol, this state is the lobby.
| State | The guest sees |
|---|---|
| Waiting | Please wait; the owner's name |
| Admitted | Straight into [[surfaces/meeting |
| Not admitted | Ask to join again |
| Owner away | The knock is refused outright; the page says so |
| Cancel | Withdraws the knock and returns to [[surfaces/prejoin |
This page has no Back. To leave, press Cancel. If the guest reconnects, they keep their place in the queue.
