Managing Zoom Sessions registrants


The Zoom Sessions Manage Registrants tab provides a single location for the event organizer to easily manage their registrants and event registration, helping them create successful events. Zoom Sessions event organizers can access registrant information to manage tasks related to individual or group registrants and the invited registrants.

The registration management feature provides support for hosts to manage their registrants at the event level. This also allows hosts to pre-register Zoom Sessions guests. Hosts can view, sort, and filter their events’ special roles and the regular attendees' info and registration status.

Prerequisites for managing Zoom Sessions registrants

How to access the registration management page

As the event host, you can access the registration management page for your upcoming and past events.

Notes:

To access the registration management page:

  1. Create a single-session event or recurring sessions event.
    You can also edit an upcoming event to access event setup.
  2. In the event setup menu, click Registration & Join, then click Manage Registrants.
    The registration management page will be displayed.
  3. Click the Registrants tab.

Types of registration status

You can send a message and resend the event invitation to all registrants. You can also remove registrants from the event guest list.

Registered

Registrants who register and join a Zoom Session event will have the Role of attendee. On their profile card, their Status will display as Registered when they have registered for the event.

Note: Guest roles' registration status will also change from Invited to Registered when they accept their event invitation and register for their event.

Pre-registered

The pre-registration status of both internal and external pre-registrants will be displayed.

If the host sends an invitation with an event join link to pre-register for an event to a registrant, the event participant will have the Pre-registered registration status. Hosts can also upload 4 fields as part of the CSV template—first and last names, email addresses, registration sources, and unique IDs—during the pre-registration process. If the first and last names are added, that will show on the attendee's profile card.

Pre-registered attendees do not need to register again.

Notes:

Pre-registered Invited

The pre-registration status of both internal and external pre-registrants will be displayed.

Pre-registered Invited means that a pre-registration was done, but attendees must still register for the event. Their Registration Status will display as Pre-registered Invited when they have registered for the event. On their profile card, they will also have the PRE-REGISTERED INVITED label next to their name.

Invited

When registrants have been invited to a free or paid event, they can join the event from their invitation email. Additionally, the host can invite registrants to an event as a special role. On their profile card, their registration status will be displayed as Invited. These attendees' roles will depend on how they are invited to the event:

Once these invited registrants have accepted the event invitation and registered for the event, their registration status will change to Registered and a date/time stamp of their registration will appear under their Registered status.

Group Join Link

If a registrant joins through a group join link, their registration status is updated to Group Join Link. This status is reflected on the Manage Registration page and in the registrant details panel.

Direct-join

Zoom Sessions hosts can create a direct join link for event speakers. The direct join link allows speakers to quickly join a session on the Zoom desktop client, even when they are not signed in, with any credentials.

Registrants who have been invited as speakers with a direct join link by a host will have the registration status, Direct-join. Their role will always be Speaker and their email will always be displayed.

You can send direct-join speakers a message and can also resend direct-join invitations.

How to check the status of invitation and registration emails

The Registrants tab displays a list of all registrants and their registration details. The Registration Status column displays the status of the invitation and registration emails directed to the event's attendees and special role users—whether the email is in the process of being sent or has already been sent, or was not delivered successfully—so you know if the email needs to be resent or not.

  1. Access the Registrants tab.

    • Search by a name or email

    • Filter by ticket type
  3. Check the Registration Status column to find the registration status of the email(s) directed to the registrant(s) you are checking on.

How to pre-register 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 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 control whether pre-registered guests will receive a join link, require registration, and receive email notifications.

Learn more about pre-registering attendees.
