As Roger said, there is no provision in the rules for a general-purpose all-seeing all-covering team warning.
The plate meeting is for going over the ground rules and other such duties as may be required or customary.
I will remind coaches of things that many teams / coaches seem to "forget" - but that is preventative, not a warning.
At the first violation, I will remind the coach we discussed this in the pregame and deliver the official warning.
Trying to use the plate meeting as a "team warning" is lazy umpiring, IMO.
