Managing the Zoom Sessions On-Site Experience tab

Hosts can set up hybrid events to allow both remote and on-site attendees to participate in the event. They can set up sessions to be viewed virtually, in person, or both. Hosts can provide maps to help on-site attendees navigate around the event venue and manage a check-in process for attendees. In the On-Site Experience tab, hosts can manage the check-in process, QR codes, and event maps for their events.
