Editing Zoom Sessions speaker info

Invited speakers can edit their speaker bio or assigned session after a Zoom Sessions host delegates editing and adding information to a speaker. These edits are submitted to the host, who will review and approve or reject them.

Notes:

• While other edits are waiting to be approved, your session page will be locked, and you will be unable to make further edits.
• While the previous version of your speaker bio is under review, you can edit and send new changes.
• If the host no longer has an active Zoom Events or Zoom Sessions license, you will see a message that you won't be able to edit the event until the host is assigned a new license. Contact the host to inform them of their license status.
