MODERATORS
Don't enable encryption for the room until everyone is there, otherwise if someone sends a message, late arrivers will not be able to see those.
But do enable encryption when everyone has joined.
Also, set up automatic key backup (with a good, long random password stored in a password manager, maybe even yours if they don't want one) for all of them. It's in the settings. If you don't do so, and someone in your family loses access to all of their login sessions, they won't be able to decrypt past messages, because they don't have the keys for them, and no one client will send them.
Both of these things stem from the same problem, and hopefully it will be fixed some day.
