Yes, if someone joins, his name appears in the box on the top left.
If he enters his team it'll appear in the box next to it.
If noone joins after quite some time, you probably haven't set up your firewall and/or router correctly.
You'll find all the ports that have to be open here:

Open the chat panel by pressing "page down" and close it by pressing "page up".
