virtual waiting room
Digital holding area
A virtual waiting room is an online queue system that manages website traffic during high-demand periods.
When too many users try to access a site simultaneously—for concert tickets, product launches, or appointment scheduling—the virtual waiting room holds them in order and admits them gradually to prevent the system from crashing.
I sat in a virtual waiting room for forty minutes before I could buy tickets.
