I really need this extension to have an option to specify which room to join. As it is when my boss (the team owner) uses it, it functions. When I use it (not the team owner) it drops me into the wrong room. I love it when it works, but it needs to be a bit more flexible. Thanks for considering it!

No option to join a team room, which the majority of my meetings are set up in.
