Background

We want to reduce the amount of effort it takes to join a room for new users by making the workflow more seamless. In order to do that we will allow a user's First Name, Last Name and Email Address to be supplied with the room link or embed code.

When the user lands on the signup page they will see a slightly different view with fields that are pre-filled using the query string values.
