Idea:

Currently when an online meeting is created in the Notes calendar, attendees cannot log into the Sametime meeting until the start time of the meeting. The online meeting should be available to connect and get ready 10 minutes in advance (or some length of time as specified in the meeting invitation.)

The work-around is to schedule the meeting to begin 10 minutes earlier than it actually starts, but that causes confusion and creates meeting conflicts if a person has back-to-back meetings.

The other work-around is to manually setup the Sametime meeting separate from the meeting invitation in Notes, which defeats the whole point of being able to schedule it all in one step.

Comment: There is already sametime.ini setting for this. You can specify how many minutes before the conference goes live to start it.

Sametime 7.5x introduced the ability to allow meetings to start X minutes before the actual meeting time. This will allow users to access the scheduled meeting before the meeting is scheduled to begin. By default, all meetings on Sametime 7.5x servers will start 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. However, this setting can be modified by changing the following parameter in the sametime.ini:

;Sametime.ini
[Config]
MeetingStartEarlyMinutes=10

Comment: Funny. I made an SPR for this long, long ago. How did I miss that? Good to know they took my suggestion.
