Who has joined [in] the meeting?
Hello,
let's imagine I participate in a teleconference. I hear a tone saying that there is somebody new at this meeting and I would like to ask who it is. What is the best way to say it?
I have a few ideas:
a) Who has joined?
b) Who has joined in?
c) Who has joined the meeting?
d) Who has joined in the meeting?
Which of them are correct in this context? Is there a difference between a and b, and between c and d?

I wouldn't use 'in' unless the new arrival had actually said something.
