Entered Waiting Room by mistake - How do I get out?

I accidentally clicked on a Zoom meeting link for next week.  The Zoom waiting room opened.  But I cannot find a way to get out of it.  I don't want this window open till Tuesday of next week. I even end tasked it thru task manager.  The task manager closed it and then Zoom restarted it.  Ugh! I do have 3 little dots in the top right corner, but the only option is to report an incident.

 

This is concerning as I have my own clients that sometimes test links and without a way to back out of them, they will be emailing me for help, and I don't have an answer for them.  Is there is a way out of the waiting room without having the host start the meeting then end it. Thx.
