Latecomer

A latecomer is a participant who joins a meeting after it has already started. Latecomers may join for various reasons, such as scheduling conflicts or technical issues. While it is generally preferable for participants to join meetings on time, meeting platforms often provide features to admit latecomers without disrupting ongoing discussions. Managing latecomers effectively ensures that the meeting maintains its flow and accommodates all attendees, promoting inclusivity and effective communication.
