Viewing participant attendance status in a meeting

As a participant of a scheduled meeting, checking the attendance status of other participants to know if you should expect them to attend is even easier. Participants who have been invited to a meeting but have not yet joined will be displayed under a new Not Joined section in the Participants panel, along with their calendar response (Accepted, Declined, Maybe, No response).

Anyone can Ask to join, which will invite them by calling them into the current meeting, or choose Chat, which will begin composing a message to that contact through Zoom chat.
