I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I wonder if anyone, particularly someone from Zoom, can speak to the issue of the overwhelming amount of webinar spam that's going out. It seems that some email addresses have been handed out to different marketers, and those marketers are regularly signing up people to Zoom conferences that they haven't asked for. Because of the way my system is set up, when I get a meeting request, it goes on to my calendar, and then I have to deal with it. Sometimes, I just get an email saying that the webinar is starting, and it's all junk. I've requested several times to have my name removed from the list. I don't want to be removed from all webinars because I do have to attend them as part of my work, but I'm absolutely fed up with the amount of webinar spam that I'm getting through Zoom. I think it's not just bad for the companies that are producing this spam but it's also bad for Zoom as a brand.

I am receiving spam webinars every day, and there's no way to stop them. I have already unsubscribed from all Zoom Webinars emails, but I continue to receive them.  I have also reported these webinars, but Zoom does not take any action against them.

Can anyone from Zoom explain why you don't take any action against them?

I use Zoom for my broadcasts, but several of my students are reporting that they can't rejoin the broadcast unless I end it and start a new one. I've tested it and I'm sure they're not logged in on other devices.

It's probably a problem with Zoom not recognizing when students leave the webinar.

Is anyone else facing the same problem?

I am trying to embed a Zoom Webinar registration form onto a page on our website using an iframe.

To make the embed look seamless and match our site's branding, I need to completely hide Zoom's default header and footer on the registration page.

The technical method to hide these elements is using the Custom CSS tab under the Zoom Admin Portal to Advanced to Branding.

However, this Custom CSS tab is currently NOT visible in my admin account.

Hi! Looking for some guidance or best practices on rescheduling a recurring webinar when attendees have already added it to their calendars.

Situation:

1. We created a recurring Zoom webinar (even though the sessions weren’t happening at regular intervals) so registrants could sign up once for both sessions.

2. The first webinar has already taken place.

3. The second webinar was originally scheduled for 13 November.

4. We needed to move the second session to 20 November, so we edited just that occurrence in Zoom, we did not create a new webinar.

5. Registrants already received the automatic Zoom confirmation email for 13 November, including the auto-generated calendar invite link.

6. After changing the date, the Zoom calendar entry on attendees’ calendars did not update, they still have the original 13 November date.

7. When we resend the confirmation email, attendees do not get a calendar request they can “Accept” to update the date,  they only get the ICS link again, which doesn’t overwrite the existing calendar entry.

Q
uestion:

- What’s the best way to handle this?
- Is there a Zoom-supported method to force the calendar invite to update or send a true calendar request (METHOD:REQUEST) when a recurring webinar date changes?

Any advice or recommended workflow for this scenario would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I would like to know if someone can provide insight on how to prefill custom fields via the Zoom meeting URL.

We are forwarding a Webinar Zoom invitation in which one of the custom questions: I was encouraged to register by?

When Inspecting the web page I found that the id="question_Iwasencouragedtoregisterby?"

The idea is to prefill this field with the name of the sales rep forwarding the Webex webinar invitation.

Thank you.

Hello. Please tell me about the maximum number of participants for webinars.

We are planning to hold a webinar that is likely to have around 450 to 600 participants. Our current contract has a participant limit of 500 people.

We only want to increase the contract limit if it looks like we'll exceed 500 participants on the day.
If we increase the limit, will the expansion apply to webinars for which we've already issued URLs?
Also, we don't want to change the URLs (as they've already been shared with participants).
Will increasing the participant limit change the URLs that have already been issued?
