Active backdrop not always working

Hi,

I have two different 2K mp4 videos made with my iPad. One doesn't work and I can't figure out why. Both files are about the same size at 25GB and a run time of 20min.  The one that doesn't work, I've shortened to a 5 min, 500MB video and it still doesn't work. I then shortened it to a 1 sec video and it *worked*.  A two min version doesn't work. 

 

What's happening here? I'd like the video loops to run 10-20 minutes.  I'd settle for 2-5 minutes. But this one video only works as a 1s video.  Has anyone seen this before?

I added custom questions to a webinar registration.  Now that some registrations are coming through, I have realized that there is a mistake on the dropdown for one of my custom questions.  My only option seems to be to ADD additional questions, but I don't see an option to edit my existing question.

Number of employees needs to be edited.

Adding a new question seems to be my only option, but then it would be duplicated, since I can't find anywhere to delete the original question.

Social media share description function not appearing in Branding section

The Customizing Webinar Brand Settings says there is a Social Media Share Description section.  This is not appearing for me.  Did it go away or does anyone know if it is somewhere else in settings?

Better Zoom Webinar Registration Solutions (CRM/email integrations?)

I'm looking for a better way to integrate our email marketing/communications with Zoom Webinars registration. Several times a year, we host state-certified CLE webinars that draw between 500 and 1000 attendees.

 

We use Mailchimp to manage email communications, including webinar announcements/invitations and a monthly legal periodical, to 14k+ subscribers. We include our Zoom Webinar registration link in those invitations, and thereafter we run all registrant and attendee communications through Zoom Webinars.

This non-integrated solution creates a couple significant inefficiencies and headaches:
(1) Exporting registrants from Zoom and importing them back into Mailchimp for tagging and filtering (to avoid unnecessary repeat invitations) and pre-webinar announcements is cumbersome, can lead to bounce issues, and can corrupt the quality of the contact record.
(2) Oftentimes, Zoom Webinar attendees use a different email address for their Zoom account than the one they use to subscribe to our email list. I have to go to great lengths to emphasize the importance of registering AND attending/joining under their Zoom account email, and some users still mess it up.

This leaves us having to choose between requiring authentication on the front end (which often leads to hordes of panicked calls/emails re: join difficulties right as the webinar is starting) or having to manually authenticate on the back end with Zoom's attendance report data (which leaves us with too much investigative work trying to connect registrant and attendee data when folks join under a different email address than the one with which they registered).

Seems like there should be a seamless CRM-type solution for an industry leader like Zoom, that would fully integrate promotional, registrant, and attendee communications — or else work smoothly enough on its own that folks like me aren't having to hunt for workarounds.

 

One suggestion to Zoom? Fix the registration platform to guarantee that the join link works (recognizes the user, and associates the registrant and attendee data automatically) regardless of what account the user is logged into Zoom under when they click the link.

 

Is there also a webhook of some sort that would auto-tag Mailchimp contact records upon Zoom Webinar registration submission? That would be extremely helpful.

 

Thanks in advance.

Zoom Events - webinar without registration

Hi 

 

Is it possible to set up a webinar in Zoom Events that does not require registration? We are trying to embed via a JWT app and it needs an access passcode, but as the webinar defaults to registration there isn't one.

 

Thanks

I signed up for a On.Zoom class that should have started 15 minutes ago and getting a warning saying "Waiting for the host to start this webinar" - I have contacted the host, but I was curious if there were any troubleshooting issues that were on the Zoom side as apposed to the host side.

 

I have downloaded all of the most current updates, so I should not have any issue getting in - right?


Thoughts?

Live streaming to Facebook page

I'm about to live stream an event to Facebook page, would event attendees with the Zoom meeting link be automatically diverted to the live stream page when the zoom meeting room is full (max 100)? How does this work?

Hi, 

I have A Zoom webinar that will be for up to 500 hundred users. I need when starting the webinar that only those people who have paid the subscription to the course be able to join the webinar. So, I need to know first:

- Which license should I buy? 

- I need to double-check with something that is: to allow only users who paid to get into the system,

 

- I first have to enable registration, and then enable authentication and disable automatic approval, and then from my account as a " owner role" allow people who have registered to log into this webinar. Are these steps correct?
