Registrants for Webinar Stuck in Registration Loop

Hello everyone,

 

Our team has a re-occurring webinar set up for the rest of the week, and today, many of our registrants are stuck in registration login loops, where they are told that they are not registered when they try to enter a webinar session, and told to re-register. And the loop goes on and on. This loop is also occurring on both desktop and mobile. We've tried incognito or clearing the cache, and it still does not work.

 

I have read that this issue was resolved in April 2023 following a bug with custom questions not being answered during registration, but we have no custom questions set up on our registration forms.

 

Is anyone else having this issue recently or can assist an easy way to get out of this loop? We would like to have this resolved by tomorrow morning the earliest.

 

Thank you.

I am having the same issue, though to my knowledge, it only happened to two registrants, and it didn't start happening until this year. I read the article about the "fix" last April, however, I did not have custom questions that were not visible, nor did I change the custom questions after registration opened. Maybe a bug in the latest update?

We are having the same problem. Our participants can only enter if they receive an "approved email from Zoom"

after I approve them.

I sent my link to all the participants and they had the same name as me on entering the course.

Did you resolve this?

We also experienced this with at least 10% of our registrants (~50 ppl registered ) this week. I apparently don't get access to live support because I don't spend $200 a month on zoom. So if anyone has a solution, please share it here for the rest of us who pay for pro plans and no support.

I just learned from Customer Support that the reason some of our participants experienced the registration doom loop was because we added a question to the registration form. The people who had registered before that were being redirected to complete the form again. I have suggested that they make this clearer to participants by putting some kind of notice about the reason why people are being redirected back to the registration page.

 

This might not be the reason for everyone's doom loop problem. But it makes sense (as a reason) in our case.

As per Januar 8, 2025 it wasn't solved this issue with the 'registration loop'. Several people seemed to experience the loop, resulting in people giving up getting to the meeting-event. As I see from earlier threads about the theme, this has been known for several months

Result:
DOUBT! No matter how much I like zoom, this causes the doubt coming in - do they go the extra mile to make it work for the client? 
A  first step could be an updated 'workaround' to help clients make sure that they can trust zoom to bring their registrants to their meeting.
A second step could be just to solve it, whatever that means?
An even simpler thing could be just to point to where I'm the one responsible for this happening. Then I can learn, adopt and update my steps.

In the end it is about a lot of resources put into 'bringing' people to the online-meeting. You don't want to loose them just 5 secs before entering the meeting because a low prioritizing on the issue.

Background:
Zoom Workplace Pro license
* Online event, using zoom meeting
* From start of registration it was the same registration form. This form also had a question which was there all the time. It was NOT added after people had started to register. 
* There were NO 'invisible questions' [saying this as it was pointed to as part of the problem in another thread]

I'm welcoming any solution focused feedback!
