Yeah, something like that! But opt-in often reduces the number of people who do it, so maybe that should be the default when you join and there's just a separate "Join Privately" button underneath it with the current behavior. I think jams in general are about working with other people that you don't usually work with, so I would assume most people would want to be put on the list unless they specifically opted out of it.
