When a participant opens the player before the scheduled start, they see the countdown (/countdown). In the creator, the Waiting step (after Thank you) lets you add:
- a visual theme (classic, modern, soft, dark),
- a heading,
- a short description,
- a bullet list (agenda),
- an optional teaser video (MP4 or Vimeo).
On-screen order: heading → description → bullets → video → timer → start time.
You can also set an accent color and a tiled timer (hrs / min / sec). Themes differ in motion (classic is static; modern fades in; soft drifts the gradient; dark glows).
All fields are optional. Empty fields keep the default timer and copy (classic theme).
Watch now skips this screen and goes straight to the room.
The waiting-page video does not replace the recording from the Video step — it is a separate clip for the wait.
