Authentication for webinars - help asap please!

Hi all,

I am running a webinar tonight. Attendees are required to register to attend.

My question is where does authentication fit in? Does this it make it more complicated? is it necessary and what are the pros and cons of requiring authentication?

I am concerned that some attendees may not have a zoom account and therefore may not be able to attend.

Help very much appreciated!

Requiring authentication is just an extra security measure if needed so people without a Zoom account will not be able to join. Just don't enable it if you don't need it.
