Virtual Waiting Room Slide Templates

Virtual Waiting Room Slides

If you’re hosting virtual meetings or classes, chances are you spend a fair amount of time waiting for people to log in or waiting for the meeting to start. Why not create a virtual waiting room where you can remind participants of expectations and how to use features?

Below you’ll find Google Slides Templates for Google Meet, Webex, and Zoom. These templates are not intended to work with video conferencing waiting rooms that are built-in; rather, they are intended to be played on a loop via screen sharing while participants are joining the meeting.
