If guest access is enabled, unauthenticated users will
need to wait until
a user authenticates before they can join a room. If guest access
is not

Aha, so this would be more or less like the Google Meet flow right now.
Would it make sense to enable it at-least during the hackathon then ?
So, to create a meeting you still need access codes, but to join, you can
rely on somebody inside to let you in. Sounds very reasonable.
