Feature: Semi-automatic join meeting #473

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've started using "Join next event meeting ⌘\" to join a meeting when it starts, and that's great. Sometimes I know I'd like to indicate to auto-join the next meeting some time in advance of the start time, but not often enough to use the auto-join option all the time. I feel like a way do something combining these features, to "auto-join [just] the next meeting when it starts later" would be handy.

Describe the solution you'd like My idea is that pressing the "join next" menu item or ⌘\ more than a few (?) minutes ahead of the next meeting would wait until the start time before actually joining.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could turn on auto-join at all times, but since I'm not always at my desk am concerned about accidentally joining a meeting I wasn't quite ready for and confusing people. There might be other ways to implement a "join with a delay", such as a separate option to the current "join next", or bringing the auto-join option more front and center in the menu so it can be switched on and off throughout the day. I feel this would be less elegant than making the existing "join next" feature a bit cleverer.

I thought of another alternative approach to get the same effect - a keyboard shortcut that enables Automatic Event Join (or an invisible shadow setting), and something that knows to turn that off again once it's triggered once.
