How to simplify sign-in for attendees on a multi-session Zoom Events?

We have set up a multi-session event. We are trying to figure out how to skip the sign-in part on the Zoom desk app with the link. We wish that participants enter only their name and email address or they could even sign-in anonymously.

Even with the link and not using the tickets, attendees have to sign-in with a password on the Zoom desk app which complicates things, and we are afraid to lose attendance or having to deal too much with delays and IT assistance the day of the event. Is there a way to skip the sign in with the desktop app?

Thanks,

Sarah

Zoom Events depends on all attendees being signed in to a Zoom account. It is a core part of the authentication process, and can’t be bypassed – with one exception: a direct link can be generated for a speaker to enter an event directly with a link, but this can only be generated no more than an hour in advance:

Note also that the Zoom Events experience is likely unusable for phone and tablet participants. Many Zoom Event hosts have reported issues with this – including me. Desktop (Windows and Mac) should have no problem.

Hello Ray!

We are facing so many issues with our speaker logins. How did you generate your links? We are not able to do this! We lost two speakers today, tomorrow is the second day and I want to make sure everybody will be able to log in.
