**Description**

I have 2 questions.

1. Whenever a user joins the waiting room, Zoom shows a pop-up in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to hide that pop-up or not show it at all programmatically? I have attached a screenshot showing the popup which I want to hide.

2. Is there a way to remove users from the waiting room programmatically using Android SDK?

**Which Android Client SDK version?**  
5.5.1.1319

**Screenshots**

Hi @anonymousedge03, thanks for the post.

I am not aware of any way you could hide this dialog through the default UI. If you were to implement a custom meeting UI, you would be able to respond to the waiting room however you would like.

You can control the waiting room programmatically through the [`InMeetingWaitingRoomController`](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/meeting/android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingWaitingRoomController.html) class. Unfortunately, removing participants from the waiting room is not supported in the Android client, so the SDK will not be able to do so either. At this time, you can only remove participants from the waiting room on desktop clients.

Thanks!
