Allowing Zoom Events hosts to upload downloadable material

Account owners and admins can enable or disable the Zoom web portal setting Allow host to upload downloadable material. This setting controls the ability to upload downloadable materials in the Zoom Events creation setup. Enabling this toggle allows hosts to upload downloadable materials during the setup process.

Note: This setting affects only Zoom Events and is a separate toggle from the Zoom Webinars setting, which is controlled through a separate toggle. This setting does not affect the ability to upload documents in the webinar session's Resources tab.
