  • Modification of registration questions after event has ended
    Hosts can modify existing registration questions or add new ones after an event has ended to aid with viewership of event recordings.
  • Calendar attachments inclusion with confirmation emails 
    When enabled, confirmation emails for:
    • Single session events will include an .ics file attachment and 4 calendar download links: Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and iCal calendars.
    • Multisession events do not include an .ics file attachment, but will include 4 calendar download links: Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and iCal calendars.
  • Modification of geographic restrictions after publication of event
    Hosts can add and modify which countries are restricted from registering for the event after the event is published; changes made after the event is published will not retroactively impact previous registrations.

    Hosts can duplicate any single session event—including legacy events. When duplicating legacy events, they will be converted to the new format and all content will be mapped into the new event data configuration.
  • Video settings for panelists
    Account admin and account owners can enable audio and video settings for panelists, which Zoom Events and Zoom Session license holders can then manage in their video settings for webinar sessions.
  • New template for pre-registration emails
    New templates for pre-registration invitation and pre-registration join emails have been added.

    • Event card
    • Event Detail page
    • Ticketing section
• Hub features
  • Expiration of recordings synced with lobby close-time
    Recordings are now synced with the close-time of the lobby. This helps to ensure that changes made to the lobby time do not affect the availability of recordings.
• Speaker role features
  • Speakers can create resource links in webinars
    When speakers are invited to edit their sessions, they can now create, edit, or delete resource links to display in their assigned webinar sessions.
• Chat features
  • Chat settings to limit URL sharing and file uploading

  • Improvements to scheduling itinerary 
    When a meeting invite is declined by the invitee, the meeting will be removed from the calendar of the inviter.
• Networking features
  • Reactions added to Zoom Events profiles
    Viewers can use the “applaud” and “like” reactions to express approval or liking of certain parts of another user’s profile, such as their interests and education background.
• Integration features
  • Update to Zoom Events mapping data to Marketo
    Event organizers and markets can now use their own Marketo programs and map to a pre-existing program; previously they had to use Zoom generated programs.
  • Store session-level attendance and engagement data in a Marketo custom object
    Event organizers can now write session-level attendance and engagement data to a Marketo custom object, making it easier for lead scoring, segmentation, and personalization.
  • Unique join link and ticket info sent to Marketo
    The unique join link sent to each registrant is now sent to Marketo, making it easier to merge the unique join link to send out with emails.
  • Event organizer and co-editors allowed to see and update integrations UI
    Event organizers and approved co-editors now have access to the same integration configuration UI and see the same settings for events they have access to. Changes made by one user will persist and will be viewable and editable by other enabled users.
  • Pre-mapping of default Zoom Events registration fields to corresponding Pardot fields
    Default Zoom Events registration fields are pre-mapped to corresponding fields in Pardot, eliminating the extra time required used manually map fields.
  • Registrations via Eloqua sent to Zoom Events
    Eloqua can now register campaign members for a Zoom Event; the registrant’s name, email address, and ticket ID are sent to Zoom Events. The integration UI will validate for a user if they added the correct/incorrect ticket ID when configuring the action app to register attendees from an Eloqua campaign.
• Trust and safety features
  • Improvement to reporting user or incident process
    When entering a user's name when reporting someone within an event, the name you have entered will be cross-checked against the attendee list to confirm that a person with that name exists in the event. This will help prevent inaccurate reporting.
  • Implementation of limit to number of emails sent per day
    The total number of emails an account can send in a day has been capped to enhance security and safety on the Zoom Events platform. The new sending limits do not affect users’ existing customization options, such as the custom email templates, sending test emails, changing email notification settings, or sending out certain types of emails automatically.
    • As the account type scales for more users on an account, the account type's daily send limits also scale to compensate for additional emails. 
    • If the daily maximum sends more emails than what the limit allows, the Investigation Risk Management (IRM) team will be notified.
• Developer features

    The following event and session APIs have been added:
