Session image default (Zoom conference)

[RichardPovall]

I'm trying to find out how to set a default image when setting up a conference with multiple session. Although Zoom creates a 'default image' I apparently can't publish the event until I have set my own image (seems a bit daft). I will have hundreds of sessions in an upcoming event so I need to be able to set my own default image. Can anyone help?

I have a generic image I use to set them all the same initially. If assigning them manually for each session is too much of a pain, enter one session with the generic image, download the csv file, then edit the csv file, setting all the session images to the same (internal) value.

There’s also a way to load images into the Hub’s Media Library, but it looks like the revision to allow access to it from the events isn’t in yet. You can only access these images for the Hub itself at the present. 

Patience – Zoom Events has only been in General Availability about 9 months. It’s getting better by the month, but still has some rough edges – most of which can be gotten around with a little manual effort.

It's been a few years since this post, but here I am looking for the same thing 🙂 I have a long series of events (ongoing for the foreseeable future) and I want to have the same "session image" for each one. It's too many steps in my workflow to do this all manually, so I'm hoping for a default session image setting that I can use at the event level. Did you ever figure out a solution?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @libbyheeren.

Can you describe your event structure in a little more detail? It sounds like you’re wanting the same Masthead/session image for several single-session events. In this case, are they all closely related – closely enough that instead of re-creating each one, simply Duplicating one would work? Then all you have do is change the details – all of the other info would stay the same.

Are you re-uploading your session image each time? If you check the box to have it saved in your hub’s assets, you can just pick it from the list of assets. It’s still a step, but a small, easy one.
