Webinars

This is INSANELY confusing as a webinar attendee.  There is now an icon for SETTINGS on the attendee tool bar and it looks like the options one would have as a Meeting participant. As a host I do not see any way to turn these off. I hope to hades this is a bug that can be fixed because my attendees are going to be SO confused. As a webinar attendee they don't need to see these as options, even if it isn't really an option - for example, they cannot turn on their video yet they get a video preview as a webinar attendee as if it were an option. Is there a new setting as a webinar host that I am missing to turn off these options from attendees even seeing them?  

It seems there is no way to stop spammers from just adding you to their webinar. I get added nearly every week to some spammer's zoom meeting trying to sell some product. There is no spam option on the invite or way to report them. There is only a cancel meeting option and contact organizer.  Why doesn't zoom add in a feature to report them or remove the option to just upload a list they purchased of names and emails??

Can anyone tell me how to do this? I know how to trim from start or end, but not how to cut out a few minutes from the middle of the recording.  Thank you! 

Anyone else getting invitations to zoom calls from spammers?This used to happen a lot to me on other platforms, but it seems that they have now moved to Zoom instead! At least on the other platform it was very easy to report it as spam - but I don't see that here - and the Zoom support AI bot can't handle it !! If anyone knows how to reach a human at Zoom HQ to flag this stuff, please let me know... Here's the title of the latest one I've received: Eblog Reveal: Auto Create Network Of High-Ranking Niche Sites Without Wordpress, SEO or Tech Skills & Earn $10k-$20k/mo Recurring Income  

We've run a few Events now and we've encountered the following issue with our survey responses: Responses to event surveys & polls are not being displayed in the Surveys & Polls dashboard (under Event Analytics). We're able to pull a custom report or just download the table data where it does show that there actually were responses to a particular survey. Could this be a product issue that needs to be addressed? Thank you for the help with this concern,Manuel

Hello All! I run a lot of Zoom Webinars without any trouble - but today we experienced a pretty nasty glitch.  - The entire screen went Green - no way to get it back. Just restarted Zoom and then the video was just black. Restarted the computer and then it seemed to work fine. Worried about future webinars. 

Till 12/12/25 evening we were able to host live meetings & attendees were able to join.

i keep getting webinar registration emails that i never opted in for. How do you stop people from registering you for webinars you didn't sign up for?

Hi guys, I wanted to know how do I get a report in zoom where it gives me the analytics of the participants. By analytics I mean how do I see the focus time, drop off rates etc during the webinar/meeting of the participants. This is something which is very important for me and was included in the reports of Demio (I recently migrated from Demio to Zoom).Please help, I urgently need to get a solution to this. Thank You.

How can I change the name of the sender that appears when participants receive their registration confirmation? Last year it was possible to change both the sender and the email address, now only the email address can be changed, but not the sender. Is there a solution for this without changing the account name?

Hello,I have a small issue with the Zoom API. When retrieving the participants of a webinar, one of them does not have a “last_name” field. However, this field is required to join our meetings/webinars.What’s even more confusing is that, when retrieving the participant list through your interfaces, the person does have a last name.How is this possible?

Description: Hello, I am experiencing an issue with the Zoom desktop client on Linux Mint. The client launches without errors, but when I try to join a meeting, nothing happens — the connection does not start, and no error messages appear.Details: Zoom version: installed from .deb package (latest official version). All dependencies are installed (ldd /usr/bin/zoom shows no missing libraries). Audio devices are recognized

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? Webinar ID828 4602 3920Passcode186270

I recorded a webinar and it was saved to my local computer, not the cloud as I did not realize I had to indicate the location. I would like to share a link for it. Is it possible for Zoom to provide a link? Can I upload it to the cloud and then get a link?  Thanks. 

I am hosting a webinar but do not want attendees to be able to see/use the "raise hand" button. How do I remove that option for a webinar? Also, is it possible to prevent other panelists from seeing the # of participants/attendees and their names? Thank you

Hi,I have been looking into the possibility of using the annotation function in webinars. Looking at the compassion between webinars and meetings it shows that this is possible but I haven't been able to make this work.  Is this an option? If so what am I doing wrong? Thanks,Jordin

During 2025, we have been paying $168 for the Zoom Webinars | 1,000 Attendees – Promotion plan. I would like to ask whether there will be an increase in this fee for 2026.

I am going to run a series of trainings and want to pull attendance reports for each training session. If it is a recurring webinar, can you pull individual-level reports per session, or is it all in one report for all of them together?

Hi, a couple weeks ago I created a webinar (as per normal process - nothing different). And that usually creates a registration link which I normally share with my registrants so they can join on the day. But once the webinar started, I noticed we only had 3 participants (normally we have 50+) and so I went and tested the link that was sent to registrants. And the link was leading to another webinar with the exact same title and exact same settings....just a different ID. Can someone help me understand how in the world this could have happened if I only had one webinar created?  Thanks!

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.

A weird issue that has only just started this week in a large corporate environment which appears to implicate Zoom’s Cloud Room Connector for both Webinars and Meetings:- laptop to laptop - music AOK- ⁠laptop to Cisco - music not ok with original music mode making no difference- ⁠Cisco to laptop - music not ok with Cisco’s noise cancelling, Neutral and Music selections making no difference- Cisco to Cisco over Zoom - music also not ok Anyone else hearing recent Cloud Room Connector music issues? Have you guys seen any issues this week? I’m wondering if it is actually a new Zoom fault. I’ve seen it on multiple meetings and webinars in different locations.

Zoom allows spammers to promote products by hosting webinars and adding participants. Despite reporting these webinars to the trust and safety team, no action has been taken. Why hasn't any action been taken against these spammers? The problem is worsening daily with more spam webinars emerging.

Hello! What setting is it in Webinar to make it so the attendees don’t see the black squares of the cohosts when their camera is off during:1. the live session2. a hardrive recordingWhenever I feel like I have this conquered something changes and bam, same issue, Thanks!

I hosted a zoom meeting recently and (stupidly) did not manually save the chat prior to closing the meeting. For many recent webinars, the chat automatically popped up in a folder when the meeting closed - but that didn't happen this time. Is there a way to recover the chat from this meeting that I was host of? I do not think that the autosave feature was turned on. I did check my documents/zoom folder on my computer and it is not there (though several other chats are!).
