Ty!

When e-mail notifies me that someone joined my zoom room more than 3 minutes early, I sit there and wait for the clock to strike the exact time to start the meeting. I’m over small talk on some mornings 😅

I’d say be sitting there ready in advance but don’t join till maybe a minute or two before. It will be a little awkward if the host gets the “someone has joined your meeting” fifteen minutes early

I show up the day before.

On the dot! there could be a meeting happening just before yours

This is easy... don’t be late.

I would use any time before actual start to test audio/video.
