Honestly nobody sees this gear icon anymore. Cause for a first time user (which this device check is good for) you have no idea what to click.
And there is also no hint or anything that this tool will help you diagnose your device settings issues. Its first time user screen, so of course other will find it annoying. "pre-conference-room"? could you elaborate? => A splash screen before entering the room. Deliberately outside of the room, you can't hear/see other users/whiteboard or anything yet. This is like the most common feature other Video Conf (Skype/Teams anything) use in order to manage device settings, permissions and also educate usage of the conference software.
