Description
The Host can send messages to all users in a meeting’s waiting room by selecting To: Everyone (in Waiting Room) from the chat pane in the desktop app. How can this be done with the Windows Client SDK?
Which version?
5.4.54524.1229
To Reproduce(If applicable)
Start a meeting with the Client SDK which has the waiting room enabled and auto admit waiting room users turned off. Have a user join the waiting room but do not admit them. Try to use the SDK’s chat controller to send a message to all users in the waiting room only (not all users in the meeting).
Screenshots

Device (please complete the following information):
Windows 10 Desktop
Additional context
When the host sends messages to everyone in the waiting room a chat event is fired for user 4294967295 (seems to be a special user ID, like 0 means “Everyone (in meeting)”). However, trying to call SendChatTo() with this userID fails with SDKERR_INVALID_PARAMETER.
Just a suggestion: It seems it would be pretty easy to implement this feature by using the existing SendChatTo() method with the special ID 4294967295 to send messages to waiting room participants. This special value is clearly already being used internally by the client library anyway (see my initial message).
Dear Sirs,
I supposed I’ve read of this feature (sending messages to participants in the Waiting Room) in a SDK release note. Is it correct it is not available?
Thanks
This is supported in the latest version of the SDK. To send chat to the waiting room you would need to set the message type to SDKChatMessageType_To_WaitingRoomUsers.
