I downloaded the attendee report, but attendee's email address are not recorded in the report. What should I do?

    @medical-reserve This is by design. Zoom will only show the email address in webinar reports if registration is enabled. This is to protect the PII of these users who join when registration is not required. 

    Please make sure that if these addresses are needed, that registration is being used with your webinars.

    You should definitely not collect the attendees' email addresses if they are never going to be accessible again! Very deceptive. We are trying to give teachers credit for attendance to our webinar, and now we cannot.

    Is this for events or is it for webinar? For events, if people don't opt in right now you can't get that information.

    Thanks for the advice! It was for webinar.

    Hello,  I agree with @Dave31 and I'm a little confused here.    I have been using Zoom Webinar to teach since COVID began in spring 2020.   My clients ask for attendance reports after each course I teach.    Until last week, these reports always included email addresses, which is needed because many people sign-in to the course with an abbreviation of some kind, so the client (and I) only know who they are by looking at the email address they entered upon joining the webinar.    On occasion I also need to reach out to someone after a course to follow-up on a question and now I can't do that.   I do not use your "registration" option because I don't need it.      Please advise -- how can I get the email addresses, that my students are already entering upon joining, to show in my reports again?   This is absolutely essential to me.

    Absolutely ridiculous decision and I can see that Zoom have not responded to any further requests for info on this thread. I will be cancelling my Zoom account and moving to Livestorm instead.

    I just discovered this change. It's a major problem for my organization and should be changed back to the previous functionality of guest email addresses appearing in reports.

    Exactly - how do you report a photo bomb if you don't know who attended the meeting?

    Has anyone come up with a work around on getting email addresses when people join?

    Three people have tried registering for my webinar, but the Zoom system will not accept their email. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried registering them, but it still would not accept the email??? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks
