Why does Google Meet make me wait to be let in when I'm invited on my Cirrux address?

When someone invites you to a Google Meet on your Cirrux address and you open the link, Meet looks at the Google account you're signed in with in your browser. If that's an old Gmail account, it doesn't match the address that was invited, so Meet treats you as a guest and asks the host to admit you.

Signing out of Google doesn't help. You then join as an anonymous guest, and the host still has to let you in.

What you can do

• Accept being let in. It's one click for the host and does no harm. Most people leave it at that. A host who meets you often can also set the meeting's access to "Open", so anyone with the link joins without asking.
• Create a Google account on your Cirrux address. Google lets you make an account with any email address, without a Gmail inbox: on the Google sign-up page, choose to use your existing email address. Sign in to Meet with that account and Google recognises you as the person who was invited. It does mean having a Google account again, tied to your Cirrux address, so it's a trade-off.

This works the same for every email provider that isn't Google, and Cirrux can't change it from our side.
