Zoom meeting keeps asking approved attendees to register

Is anyone else encountering the issue where a Zoom meeting with registration keeps asking people to register for a meeting even if 1) their registration has already been approved and 2) they are using the link sent in their confirmation email? This has always happened to at least a couple attendees for every Zoom meeting I’ve organized with Zoom registration in the past two months. The registration for these meetings usually requires manual approval (for security purposes, automatic approval is not an option for me). I think this is particularly common when the attendee has several Zoom accounts. But oddly, the problem seems to persist even if the user is already using the right join Zoom meeting link, that they received in the same email address that is logged in to the Zoom app and the Zoom browser profile. Clearing the cache doesn’t seem to work either.

 

Please help. I can work around it pretty easily as the host, but it’s hard to help other attendees troubleshoot (while managing the meeting while it’s ongoing), and some of them just end up giving up on attending.

    I do have the same issue with one particular meeting consistently. Initially, I thought it was an issue with the meeting organizer's side. But no one else ever reported the same problem. therefore, it should be an issue on my end. I never reached out to Zoom technical support but I should try that.

    We just had this happening today. Almost 50 registered. 18 of them got into the meeting. Many approved registrants emailed and said they were asked to register again and again in a loop.

    I ended up to give some my own link, fearing I might get kicked out as the host, but fortunately that didn't happen and we had 4 more join. I had no time to do a mass email as I was conducting the ongoing meeting. This was a disaster!!

    In future I will do it the old way having people  register via a form on our own website but that is way more work. NOT HAPPY. We PAY for PRO and get amateurish and faulty results. I might go to Google Meet. This is awful!! Unless we hear of a solid fix, I will not use zoom registration.

    We had the same yesterday. 36 registered, only 3 got through. There had been no changes to custom questions.

    Registration endlessly looping round for everyone else. Had to send out a new meeting link to registrants. Many had given up by then.

    Please fix this, Zoom!

    Hi @dna6 @Derek7799 @nikoli @mhewett  & everyone else on this thread! Advise checking the knowledge base article on Zoom registrants stuck in loop issue, as the resolution is currently scheduled to be released on April 17, 2023. In the meantime, hosts should uncheck the required question option from disabled custom questions.

    Participants to my meetings are still experience the registration loop issue.  I just retested it yet again a few minutes ago with a participant. I am not aware that I have ever had any registration questions, so I am not sure the bug fix is a comprehensive fix for all users.  My ticket just registered today is #17089475 in case that is of help in being able to see what my setting are. Any help is much appreciated.

    By registration "questions," they mean form fields, e.g., Email Address, First Name, Last Name, Phone, Organization, and any custom fields you add. Every registration page has the email address "question" as a default minimum.

    Hello,

    As of today (June 14th) I am still having issues with this exact issue, for a Zoom meeting series that was created after the April update.  It is only the case for a couple of individuals, however it has become quite frustrating for them.

    This has happened to my organization.  Zoom has loss my personal meeting ID that  I established when I open the account with them.  My account is still in operation under on my old pc  but I cannot use the personnel meeting ID  and other meeting ids that I initially established under my account with Zoom.  I have a new cp that I have been using with my old account and it was working find until this past week.  It all started when my account/plan was automatically renewed.  At that time all of my meeting IDs that I had set up have been loss or changed.  My meeting ID account information and passwords have also been changed and I cannot get  Zoom to find my records.  I have an invoice and payment has been made to renew my account.  What can I do.

    I had the same issue last night, April 16 2024! While my registration list only shows 2 new people registering right before the event, my email shows 13 people registering right at the event time. Those were already registered folk trying to get in, and many of the folk in the meeting indicated they had to re-register. 

     

    I never changed the questions, it's just Fname, Lname, and Email.

     

    Will be reaching out to support, but this is not resolved.

     

    EDIT: In researching other threads, the cause of the issue might be that I sent a link to the meeting in an email to all registered. Whereas they should have clicked the unique links in their confirmation message. Next week, I will resend the confirmation emails manually, and hopefully that will fix it as they will be reminded of their unique link. If it doesn't, I'll update here.
