Securing your OnZoom Events

[AustinP]

You know what they say: Safety First! This applies to virtual events just as much as in-person events. So here are a few suggestions on how to manage security parameters as you host your virtual events through OnZoom.

Event Discoverability

Make sure you've selected one of the appropriate options during the event creation process:

1. Public Event – Event is listed in the OnZoom directory. All users can view the event page and register for the event.

2. Exclude from Directory and Search – Event is not listed in the OnZoom directory. Only users with the event link can view the event page and register for the event.

3. Private Event Restricted to Invitees on the Guest List Only – Event is not listed in the OnZoom directory. Only designated users can view the event page and register for the event.

Advanced Options

• Control how your attendees will join the event by enabling 'Join 15-min Early' and/or 'Waiting Room'.
• Allow attendees to change their screen names or share their screens, or disable this entirely.  

Ticket Options

• Choose ticket type(s) that best fit your event. 
• Select a quantity that matches your desired number of attendees.
• Customize your 'Sale Start/End' dates for each ticket type. 
• Restrict Tickets to certain users if you already have email addresses that are associated with a Zoom account of guests expected to register.
