Invitations
Invitations answer who should know about the meeting. Access policy answers who can actually enter. Hyper keeps those two ideas separate so teams can share the right context without accidentally weakening security.
Before the meeting
Section titled “Before the meeting”- Add guests while scheduling if you want the event, agenda, and link distributed in one step.
- Use the meeting page to copy the join link when the audience is small or handled manually.
- Review access settings before sending the invite if the meeting is confidential or customer-facing.
During the meeting
Section titled “During the meeting”- Hosts and co-hosts can invite more people if the conversation expands.
- The waiting room can still hold new entrants even when they have a valid invitation.
- Changing the audience mid-meeting is safest when a co-host is available to watch admissions.
Invitation behavior by policy
Section titled “Invitation behavior by policy”Open meetings
Section titled “Open meetings”- The invitation mostly acts as a notification and route into the meeting.
Restricted meetings
Section titled “Restricted meetings”- The invite supplies the link, but the participant still has to match the meeting policy.
Guest-heavy meetings
Section titled “Guest-heavy meetings”- Use the waiting room when a broad invitation should not equal immediate entry.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Someone had the invite but still could not join
Section titled “Someone had the invite but still could not join”- Check whether the meeting is restricted to members, teams, or approved emails.
- Review waiting room settings to see whether the participant is pending admission instead of blocked.
- Confirm the guest used the same identity or email the meeting owner expected.
