Is it possible to skip waiting room using websdk?

Use case is as follows:

- user joins a meeting and is taken into waiting room
- host let’s them in
- if something happens in the browser, user refresh the page
- now they are back in the waiting room

Since I know that the user was already admitted, is there a way with web sdk to bypass the waiting room for this user.

Thanks
