Pre-registering Zoom Sessions attendees

Hosts can pre-register users by directly sending them emails with event join links when publishing an event. Pre-registration eliminates the need for attendees to register before joining a Zoom Sessions event. After being pre-registered for an event by the host, attendees will receive join links in an email invitation when the event is published.

Hosts can pre-register one or multiple email addresses for a Zoom Sessions event. Hosts can choose to issue a fast join link or the normal join link at pre-registration. Users of the normal join link will be directed to pass authentication upon joining the event. Users of the fast join link will skip authentication upon joining the event. Pre-registration users have access (registered) to all sessions. The join link opens the session while it's ongoing. When the session isn't occurring, the join link opens the lobby.

Hosts can control whether pre-registered attendees will receive a join link, require registration, and receive email notifications. Hosts can also do the following actions:

This feature works for manually added registrants or registrants from a CSV list.
