I am using a mounted external PTZ camera for a hybrid zoom conference. The camera is a 3X and from where it will be positioned in the room, and at maximum zoom, it does not frame the speaker as close as I would like. Is there a way  to digitally zoom-in or crop and resize the live video image in the Zoom Events platform before it goes out to those streaming the conference?

I am hosting a one day hybrid multi-session 7-speaker (each speaker is a different session) event on 3.25.23 and am unable to figure out how to start a practice session. I have searched out available info and am told to "start" the session in the lobby but I cannot see where to do that.  I assume my lobby is live but am unsure how to verify that.  I am super stuck and REALLY wanting to figure out the practice session to make sure that audio and video feed to zoom is working properly...can anyone advise me on this?  Thanks, Corrie

Hello,

 

For my organization, I set up webinars. Of course, I send the invite containing the registration link to the internal targeted audience. During the event, I noticed that the some names appear repeatedly, one of which appeared even 17 times. Usually we encourage the audience to cascade the invite.

 

I understand from a previous post that "each participant should use the meeting link that they will receive on their email after they register on your meeting and not share the meeting link" and honestly I think this is happening already. Only the registration link is cascaded, and not the meeting link received afterwards.

 

Moreover, the Zoom support contact we have for our company said that those repeated names should be taken into account only once, as it is just a displaying error of Zoom, thus when building my reports I should consider only the unique viewers, and not the total users.

Is there any kind of solution to prevent displaying the same name multiple times? How do I know for sure how many participants were in my webinar? When sending the invite, should I warn the audience of something? 

 

Thank you much,

Alexandra

Zoom says, "over 100" participants for a Webinar, but what if less than 100 join, can you still use the webinar functions?  I have Zoom Pro now, but an upcoming meeting has filled up and I want to allow more people in so I'm considering an upgrade.  However, in the future, I may only have 50-60 people in a webinar.  Can I put on a "webinar" with less than 100 or would that be considered a "meeting"?

We conduct training webinars, and we notice that attendees who encounter computer audio issues and decide to switch to joining by phone instead are allowed to skip entering the participant ID shown on the screen when they call in. (The phone instructions say "... Enter your participant ID followed by pound. Otherwise, just press pound.")

 

If the attendee skips entering their participant ID, they are listed twice in the attendee panel--once under their computer-based session and again with their phone number. They're also listed twice in any post-webinar attendee reports.

 

Finally, with hundreds of attendees in a training webinar, it poses potential security issues by making it difficult for the host to fully remove an attendee who has called in (both instances of the attendee), because there's no way to determine which phone number is associated with their computer session in the attendee list.

 

So, if an attendee is joining by phone after they have joined a webinar, we want to require them to enter the participant ID.  Is there a webinar-level or Zoom account-level setting that would allow us to require the participant ID for such attendees? In other words, we don't want the attendee to hear the "Otherwise, just press pound" statement in the recorded phone instruction.

 

(We are aware that attendees who call in before joining the Zoom by computer won't have a participant ID to enter, so this issue doesn't apply to them. However, we think the majority of attendees probably click the link to join before calling in.) 

 

Thank you in advance for any guidance,
Lisa

hey

 

So, I have integrated Zoom Webinar with SFDC and tested it as well. I still got couple of confusion though if someone could please help:

 

1: How can I segment registrants by “attended” and “did not attend” in SFDC, is it done automatically by zoom or I need to do something about it?

2: How to know (after webinar) if someone has submitted the Q&A?

 

appreciate the help and thanks in advance, thanks!

Are we able to add an Authentication exception for zoom webinars? If I wanted to add in an outside user to host a webinar training, How would I go about that?
