REPOST because this is quite an important point.

It’s great that players can join your table from the lobby. However, if they stay in the lobby and don’t enter the page of the table, they don’t see any messages from the table’s chat. So if you’re trying to chat with them, hoping for an answer, they get impatient and leave because all they see is the game not starting.

Please make it so that all the players that have joined a table see the chat of that table. It’s particularly necessary when you need to agree on settings (mission number at The crew, etc.)

This is already implemented. On the left side below the games options you can find three buttons "discuss" (or something alike), "audio" and "video". If you click on "discuss" you open the chat of the table. Even if the others don't know this function: If you enter a text there, the other people waiting for the game to start should see it and can react - this is the same chat as during gameplay.

I know that button, but what you described never happens – you may have misunderstood my plea. I’ve always had to contact "joiners from the lobby" by PM and they did reply to my PMs. It just happened again 1 minute ago.

They just don’t see the table chat when they’re not viewing the table.
