Webinars

Hi there,I am hosting a webinar with some vulnerable people as Panelists. I would rather they did NOT see the questions coming in from attendees in the Q&A, as it’s a sensitive subject. I would prefer me, as the host, sees the questions and fields them to the appropriate panelist verbally, for them to answer.I have the Zoom Webinars account, with up to 1,000 attendees.Looking at other support comments and speaking to the Virtual Agent, they suggested two things:“When scheduling or editing your webinar, go to the Q&A section and uncheck Allow panelists to view attendee-submitted questions.” - But this option does not exist.  And it suggested I use the Chat function instead - and limit what Panelists can see in the Chat. However, I do not have any option of Chat function either.Thanks - any help much appreciated!

I am preparing a webinar that I would like to include quizzes/polls in. I currently have a licensed account, but I do not have the webinar add on. My team lead also has a licensed account, and does have the webinar add on. She has scheduled the webinar, alternative hosts has been enabled,  and she has set me as an alternative host for the webinar in question. Per the “Conducting quizzes in webinars” FAQ, I ought to be able to add quizzes/polls to this webinar, however, no where in my account to I appear to have access to this webinar in order to do so following the directions in the afore mentioned FAQ. Specifically, the issue arises with Step 3 “Click the name of the webinar you want to add a poll to”. When I click the Webinar tab in my account, all I get is a advertisement to purchase the webinar add on. Should I be able to create polls and quizzes as a licensed user, without the webinar add on, and if so, how to I go about accessing th

Logging in through the correct platform, there is no “Reports” option showing up on the left side scroll bar.  Have closed out of the app and back in and it still does not appear.  Any ideas are appreciated!

I used Production Studio to make a scene template for my Zoom Event. How do I make use of that template for the various sessions in my Event? The documentation is very silent on scene templates.

As the host of a webinar with over 200 participants who are not users in my account, I should have the ability to assign them to a specific breakout room, without having to give them the option to select a room.  The only options available are assign automatically or allow participants to select a room.  I have to choose allow participants to select a room because I don’t want them assigned automatically and then I assign them to the room they are supposed to be in.  However, they have the option to select a room.  There needs to be an option to assign manually, just like the option available for panelists.  As a webinar or webinar plus user, I should have MORE control, not less.

As far as we can tell we have all the correct settings turned on to record transcripts, however none of our webinars have any VTT files associated with them, its only the MP4 file. How can we ensure transcripts are happening and are accessible? 

Is there a way to save a speaker bio in Zoom. I cant seem to find a place to store a speakers bio, and I have to recreate the bio each time I schedule a Webinar. Can anyone help?

Hi, I am currently experiencing what seems like a permissions design or technical issue with a Zoom Event. I have a few sponsors and exhibitors and each of them is permitted access to attend all the sessions. In both webinar and meeting sessions for our multi-session event, whenever these accounts join they are AUTOMATICALLY made a co-host, which creates an administrative burden to the actual meeting host to then have to remove them from that role, PLUS lots of confusion for our sponsor/exhibitor contacts who simply want to attend educational sessions NOT co-host them. Zoom chat support has left me hanging on this and I'm wondering, is this a tech issue for our event, or simply an error in design of the Zoom events program??Reading through permissions how-to's it seems that exhibitors should only be able to host their OWN sessions in the expo booth or ones that we have assigned them to specifically, but this is not what we are finding

How can I rearrange order of speakers in a Webinar Registration pageI need to add a speaker who will be the first one not last 

Hi, I ( from Taiwan) set up an online congress and invite a Chinese speaker ( from China) to log into the Zoom. But when he log in, his Zoom shown: your country/area cannot subscribe to the Zoom. Is anyone face this problem? I am wondering is this because the political issue? 

Hey there!          I am hosting paid webinars this month. I want to provide some supporters a free link to attend my webinar without having to pay. I do not have Zoom Events which apparently offers an option to do this. I only the Zoom webinar and a pro account and trying to figure out a solution without needing to pay another account. I tried sending my friend the link that is generated on the calendar invite but when she clicked on it, it made her register and pay.  I am accepting payment via PayPal and I do not think I can create a code to override the $10 charge. I am just a bit stumped on this and trying to provide some people a free invite to my webinar. Thanks!

Hi!  We have the Zoom integration enabled within Pardot and since the new year have started getting issues when setting up the registration forms that whenever submitted zoom redirects to an internal server error page. The submission is captured in pardot and the count of registrants increases in Zoom but the registrants receive no confirmation email and our zoom registrant list is blank. 

I am running a webinar with over 5000 participants and would like to track how many groups/organizations join. This is above the number of allowed registrations. However, I was wondering if it is possible for each organization to register, then share that unique join link with their group of 20 participants. How many devices can join on each link? I see that there is a limit of number of devices per Zoom account, but what about for a registration in which you only need your email address to join? Thanks!

As a non profit organisation we got reduced pricing for our Zoom Workplace Pro account.Now we want to add Webinars.What do we have to do to get reduced pricing for Webinars as well?What is the right way to buy the additional plan?Thanks for your help!

We recently hosted a webinar and in the registration form it included Country/Region and Job Titles etc. But when I went to export the registrants and/or attendees from Reports the CSV file only shows First name, last name and email, and is blank for all the other information we should have collected. We have Zoom pro. Does anyone have a solution to getting ALL the data from the registrants AFTER a Zoom Webinar has finished.

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

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.
