Hi everyone! 👋

I’m trying to understand how Zoom Webinar attendee reports handle participants who leave a session early, particularly in a case where an attendee exits before the session officially ends but still appears as “present” for the full session duration—plus an extra five minutes past the scheduled end time.

Scenario Details:

• The attendee joined the webinar using their browser (not the Zoom desktop app).
• They left just as the first breakout session was about to begin.
• They exited the session by closing their browser window rather than clicking “Leave Webinar.”
• However, the attendee report recorded them as present for the entire session duration, plus an additional five minutes beyond the scheduled end time.
• Additionally, the report includes a one-minute entry that I don’t understand.

Data from the Attendee Report:

• Join Time: 10:30 AM
  
• Leave Time: 12:05 PM (even though the session was scheduled to end at 12:00 PM)
  
• Duration: 95 minutes (appears to count the entire session, not actual time spent)
  
• Breakout Session Interaction: Attendee exited right as breakouts began.
  
• Unexpected Entry: Another record shows a one-minute attendance entry at 10:40 AM - 10:41 AM, which seems unusual.

Questions:

• 1. Is this expected behavior when someone closes their browser window instead of clicking “Leave Webinar”?
• 2. Does the browser-based experience impact how attendance is tracked differently than the Zoom desktop app?
• 3. Could this be related to how Zoom handles inactive attendees (e.g., not detecting a browser window closure as an official exit)?
• 4. Why would the report show an attendee as present past the scheduled end time?
• 5. What could explain the one-minute entry at 10:40 AM - 10:41 AM? Is this related to a reconnection, or is it a known issue in reporting?
• 6. Is there a way to ensure attendee reports reflect actual participation time rather than defaulting to the session’s full duration?
• 7. Does the attendee report provide any way to tell if an attendee was in a breakout session versus the main room?

Any insights or explanations on how Zoom tracks attendance in these cases would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to sync data from one Zoom Events account to multiple Hubspot accounts? Can sync settings be set by each individual event or by events within the same Zoom Events Hub? For example, if I had two Hubspot Accounts and one Zoom Events account with two Hubs - is it possible filter and sync data from Zoom Events Hub #1 to Hubspot account #1 and data from Zoom Events Hub #2 to Hubspot account #2? 

Thank you! 

I have a Zoom registration form for an event, which asks for First Name, Last Name and Email Address.

I am directing classmates to this form from our class website.

I want to not require them to complete the above 3 fields as that information is known to us on the sending website before the redirect.

How do I supply this information in the redirect (either in the URL or in a POST format)? And how do I find out the names of these three fields?

I am using PHP on my server side and HTML/JavaScript on the client side.

We would like to schedule a reocurring meeting with two separate meeting times. One in the morning and one in the afternoon and use one link for both. We'd like to eliminate the confusion for our guests and only provide one link. Is this possible? I cannot find the answer and online chatbox doesn't provide the answer.

Hi, 

I'm trying to complete the branding domain configuration, but it keeps failing.

Zoom domain configuration 

I followed the instructions in the zoom admin console, and my IT created the CNAME

and I can see that the CNAME is correct in dnschecker.org 

DNSchecker.org 

But it is still showing as failed. 

Any idea why ?
