A phrase said by the organizer of a meeting to indicate that the meeting will start soon, but that people who are not yet present in the meeting should be given a few more minutes to join the meeting. This is done out of courtesy and respect for everyone's time.
Example: I know we have a packed agenda today, but let's give everyone a few minutes to join, so we don't have to repeat any topics.
Variations: let's give everybody a few minutes to join, let's wait five more minutes to let the others join
