Duplicating a Zoom Event

Duplicating a Zoom Event allows event creators to quickly and easily create events without having to go through the entire event creation workflow. You can create a new event by duplicating an upcoming, draft, or past event. Your new event will have the same information as the original event. You can also control the event duplication process by copying relevant parts of previously created events. You can select the parts of the event that you want to duplicate.

Upon duplicating an event, new dates are calculated and offset based on the event start time. Based upon the event start time, the subsequent event dates, registration dates, lobby dates, and expo dates are calculated, depending on the offsets in the source event instead of default values. After duplicating your event, you can update and edit the duplicate event with new information, as necessary.

You can also duplicate Zoom Sessions (recurring sessions and single-session) events.

Notes:

How to understand editing an event

Events’ date/time, ticket-sale window, and cancellation policy can be edited at any point before the sale of a ticket. Once a ticket has been sold, only the event’s copy and images, in addition to adding new ticket types, can be edited. For private tickets with invitees, the host can edit the ticket type to include more invitees after the event has been published.

If a host needs to change an event's date, time, or cancellation policy after a ticket has been sold, the host must cancel the event, refund the purchased tickets, and re-list the revised event.
