[Omnichannel] How to mark a livechat room as read by visitor? (delivery receipt)

Description

I’ve created a custom frontend for rocketchat livechat using javascript SDK. I’ve seen SDK does not have protocol for marking a rid as read.

Lurking around codebase I saw this method: readMessages and an API subscriptions.read but as I understand, they don’t work for livechat rooms. Both methods give me user not authenticated errors.

I tried disabling these checks and server crashes with error bellow. I’ve tried calling these methods from visitor side (with token), tried calling it from server side using bot user (without token json) but the same error happened

Is there any way to mark rooms as read from visitor side?
