Scheduling and customizing a meeting with registration

Scheduling a meeting that requires registration means registrants must provide their email and name to register for the event. You can include customized questions on the registration form, which allows you to capture more information about your registrants. Once this is scheduled, you can manage your registrants, resend confirmation emails, and can also generate meeting registration reports, if you want to download a list of people that registered.

If you don't need to collect this much information, you can schedule a meeting without registration required.

Prerequisites for scheduling meetings with registration

Note: Customizing the registration options requires a Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise account.

Limitations of meeting registration

How to enable registration for a meeting

If you also require authentication to join your meeting, your registrants will need to register with an email that is associated with an active Zoom account. This must be done before registration can be completed. Authentication profiles can also require the registrant to join the webinar with an account that matches the email they registered with.

Note: When scheduling a meeting with authentication required, hosts can add authentication exceptions (and import a CSV file to bulk upload authentication exceptions) using the participants’ names and email addresses. These participants will receive unique meeting invite links and bypass authentication.

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Meetings.
  3. Click Schedule a Meeting or edit an existing meeting.
  4. In the Registration section, select the Required checkbox.
