Hey @fareeha

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question.

Checkout this related thread that may have the answer you are looking for:

Invite a Room System and Web JS SDK

I’m trying to determine whether the Invite a Room System option shown at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443-Zoom-Web-Client/#invite is supported by the Zoom JS SDK. The Invite a Room System invite option is present when I go to Zoom’s implementation (https://zoom.us/wc/join/{meeting_id}) but it does not appear when joining through our application which uses Zoom’s Web SDK.

If this thread did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.

Thanks,

Hey @fareeha,

What do you mean by waiting room chat? Can you share a screenshot or link to the docs?

Thanks,
Tommy

Sure - basically, when you join a Zoom meeting through the desktop client and there’s a waiting room, there’s a place to chat with the host and others who are in the waiting room. In the Web SDK, there’s no waiting room chat functionality:

VS the desktop app:

Thanks!

Hey @fareeha,

Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying! Currently the Web SDK does not support Waiting Room Chat, but we are planning to implement it in the future.
