Using the events portal in Zoom Events


Zoom Events users have an events portal that allows them to easily access their upcoming, current, and previous events. This page also allows special roles to view their assigned sessions.

From the events portal, attendees can view their event ticket details, view event information, and join the event lobby.

From the events portal, special roles can start practice sessions, view their upcoming events/sessions, and view/edit their bio or sessions (if invited).
