Can A Zoom Host and/or Alternative Host Register to Their Own Webinar?

[Sphillips21]

Hello Zoom Community,

I've been testing a webinar that is synched between Marketo/SFDC.

In QA'ing I, as Host, got a registration error when I updated my lead record's campaign membership satus to "Registered" on the SFDC side of the campaign. This resulted in a registration error in Marketo and SFDC.

The same thing happened to the Alternative Host.

I am assuming that Zoom does not "like" when the Host (and associated email address) tries to register as an attendee to the webinar that they created, but wanted to confirm this. Can anyone from Zoom or any users confirm this is the case?

It would make sense that you can't be both a Host and a registered attendee to your own webinar, but again, wanting to validate this is to be expected, and not some error that I am running into.

Thank you!

Hi Sphillips21,

You are correct. The host, alternative hosts and panelists cannot register for a webinar as an attendee.

Hope this helps!
