Webex Meetings
Wait in Lobby
When joining a meeting through the SDK, attendees might be required to wait in a virtual lobby. The lobby serves as a holding area where participants can be screened before joining the actual meeting or wait for the meeting to commence.
This article will show you how to handle the various lobby functions supported by the Android Meetings SDK.
anchorScenarios Requiring Lobby Wait
anchorAttendees may be asked to wait in the lobby under the following circumstances:
- They are not included in the calendar invitation.
- They are attempting to join a locked Webex scheduled meeting or Webex Personal Room meeting.
- They are trying to join a Webex team meeting but are either not members of the team space or do not possess Webex Teams accounts.
Waiting in Lobby Callback
When an attendee is placed in the lobby, the CallObserver.onWaiting callback is triggered. This callback provides the reason why the attendee is required to wait.

Entering the Meeting from the Lobby Callback
Once attendees are allowed to join the meeting from the lobby, the CallObserver.onConnected callback is triggered, signaling that the attendee has successfully entered the meeting.

Host Notifications and Actions
For the meeting host, the arrival of an attendee in the lobby triggers the CallObserver.onCallMembershipChanged callback with the MembershipWaitingEvent event. The host can then allow the attendee into the meeting using the Call.letIn method.
