This is the latest loser to manually add my email address when I'm not on their mailing list.  Is Zoom ever going let people STOP adding email addresses manually???????????    I get at least 1 per week of this b.s.......how can we make it stop?   It ALWAYS tracks back to some vendor selling something from India or Pakistan....or a scammer from JVZoo or WarriorPlus affiliate platforms.

Hi folks,

I'm looking at this article and I still have a couple of questions on Zoom simulive webinars.
1. Can we run multiple at once from the same Zoom account? We have 'normal' webinars running at the same time. Is it possible to have multiple simulive or live webinars at once?
2. Is it possible to run one without any chat support? Or to have a way where we are notified internally if there's a question in the chat (Like in eWebinar)

Thanks,
Cliona

Spamming

It seems there is no way to stop spammers from just adding you to their webinar. I get added nearly every week to some spammer's zoom meeting trying to sell some product. There is no spam option on the invite or way to report them. There is only a cancel meeting option and contact organizer.  Why doesn't zoom add in a feature to report them or remove the option to just upload a list they purchased of names and emails??

Webinar source tracking link numbers appear too high

I have a recurring webinar with several source tracking links for different campaigns. For one campaign in particular, the "visitors" number seems very high, especially when compared to the LinkedIn data that shows engagement with our ads that the source tracking link was used for (e.g., Zoom saying 3000 visitors, but LinkedIn showing only 1000 impressions, with even fewer clicks, and we actually didn't generate any registrations at all). We only posted this on LinkedIn, no where else. Is it possible for this visitors number to be inflated on the Zoom end, perhaps for some unknown technical reason?  We know we need to revisit our campaign strategy and CTA in general, but I'm specifically wondering how the Zoom visitors are so much higher than what LinkedIn says. 

 

Thanks for any input!

When someone adds me as an alternative host to a meeting, I would like that meeting to show up in my Meetings panel. Otherwise, to actually join in the host role, I need to find the email that I got and use that link.  (I think this is the case, though I am not 100% sure.) It would be much easier if I could just go to Meetings and click there.


This has been bugging me for a while. I don't really expect a reply; just putting it out there as a nice feature to add.

Hello, 

When i record my events (>7 hours), it is split in 2 files (06:34:03 + 40:52) instead of one.

Do you know why ? 

And is it possible to do something to have only one file ?

 

Because, some of my old events recordings are also > 7h but are in only one file video so i do not understand...

 

Thank you for your help.

Best way to run a high volume of recurring trainings that are a mix of Simulive and Live

Hey there,

I'm trying to figure out the best way for us to manage recurring user trainings using Zoom. We are hoping to move over to Zoom Recurring Events but I want to make sure that there aren't any potential challenges that we might face that I'm not aware of. We have a Zoom Events License with a 500 attendee limit and our average attendance limit is well below that so we're not restricted by that.

Current setup:

  • Running ~70 webinars through Zoom across various languages. There are about 20 topics and the weekly content is always the same. For example 'Getting Started' is one.
  • We currently manage our user trainings as 'Recurring Webinars with no fixed time' in Zoom
  • We don't use any registration pages or emails as this is all done through Skilljar 
  • The only reporting or data that we pull from Zoom are the Q&A if needed, chat and cloud recording

Challenge:

  • We want to convert these into a mix of simulive and live
  • This means that we'll need to schedule these at set times and create a recurring event for each timezone that we run the training in (probably) and each language which when using Zoom Webinar is really messy looking (we did it this way in the past)
  • It can also cause a lot of complexity as we need to ensure that the scheduled time in Zoom is the same as the one set for the event in Skilljar otherwise when attendees click to join it doesn't work
  • We need to schedule additional events in a recurring Zoom easily that use the same Zoom link

Plan of action:

  • Use Zoom Events instead of Webinars so that it's easier to see all the events for one topic and region in one place
  • Can easily change sessions between live and simulive

Potential challenge with this approach:

  • It seems like in order to add more sessions to a recurring event in Zoom you're not able to duplicate an already scheduled session and need to create another one from scratch. Is there no way around this?
  • You can only have 60 sessions per recurring event. Is this for upcoming events? If I schedule 60 and 10 take place, am I able to schedule another 10 in the same event?

Would love to hear how others handle this? And check if moving over to Zoom Events is the right call!

Thanks,
Cliona

Running a recurring Zoom Event without collecting attendee information

My zoom webinar license expired while I had a webinar set up and had sent the link out to all the attendees. After I renewed my license, the Zoom webinar link changed. Luckily, I noticed that they were not the same link and sent out an email to all attendees. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this something that will occur if my license expires?
