**Description**  
User is unable to join audio stream if they come from a waiting room

**Which version?**  
websdk 1.8.6

**To Reproduce**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:  
0. Enable Waiting room for zoom conference

1. Open Browser A as host
2. Open Browser B as participant
3. A sees notification that B is in the waiting room
4. A clicks Admit
5. B is admitted into the conference without audio
6. B refreshes the window

Hey @ilya1,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. I just have a couple of questions to get us started:

1. What do you mean by

> If A clicks “But in waiting room”

1. This happens when both users are on the Web SDK, correct? Does this happen when one of them is using the client too?

Thanks,  
Max

Thanks for quick response

1. Sorry, misspelling. It should be “Put in Waiting Room”
2. Yes, both users are in Web SDK. My app requires both admin and uses to use the embedded version

Also, i will note this started happening with 1.8.x upgrade. It worked fine in previous version

hi @MaxM any updates? Unfortunately, I can’t even rollback to previous version since audio for sub 1.8 versions is turned off.

Also, wanted to add one more interesting note. Zoom does recognize that speaker is talking because it shows a small not on the right “Talking: {name of speaker}” like in this image

Hey @ilya1,

> [@ilya1](#):

> B refreshes the window

It seems this step is causing the issue. What is the use case for user B refreshing the window?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi Tommy, now that is not the problem. The problem is that users **are not** able to hear the speaker. However, I noticed that if they refresh the window, **they are** able to hear.

Hey @ilya1 ,

That is strange. Can you confirm the users are on version 1.8.5+ of the Web SDK, they have allowed the browser to access their microphone, and that your site is served via https?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Yup, confirmed. We are on 1.8.6 using various browsers (Chome, Firefox). Audio is enabled (when the “Join with Audio” button appears it does work correctly.

Hey @ilya1 ,

Sorry to hear that. Can you please provide a video of the issue? We are having a hard time reproducing, and do not have any additional reports of this issue.

Thanks,
