Changes to existing features

• Enhancements to the Host Analytics Dashboard

Analytics metrics are now organized in 7 main tabs: Overview, Registration & Ticketing, Sessions, Attendees, Expo, Sponsors, and Surveys & Polls. Additionally, new registration summary charts and attendance summary charts have been added to help customers comprehend and discover relevant data and drive actionable insights.
• Deprecate "Allow Participants to Unmute themselves" for Zoom Events
  The Allow Participants to Unmute themselves setting will be deprecated and removed in July 2022.

New and enhanced features

  • Display pending pre-registration guest list
    Internal and external pre-registrants will display on the Manage Registration page and reflect the relevant status. After pre-registering an external attendee, the pre-registered attendee will now be displayed on the registrant management page. Previously, external pre-registered attendees would not appear on the registrant management page until they accepted their event invitation.
  • Add engagement data and registration questions to attendee report
    The past report title of Session Attendance has been renamed to Event Attendance Details. Additionally, this report will include expanded reporting capabilities such as new columns for the number of tickets per attendee, ticket types, ticket names, and custom registration questions. This report remains to include user-based entries.
  • Enhancements to the registration report
    The previous report title of Registrant Report has been renamed to Registration Report. This report now includes a list of registrations with ticket types, ticket names, registration questions, and all existing fields. This report is updated to include ticket-based entries instead of user-based entries.

    The character limit for Speaker Bios has been increased to 2,000 from 1,024.

Additionally, there are several enhancements to the Preview functionality to improve accuracy on how the Expo floor and booths appear to attendees.
• Meeting/Zoom Webinar integration features
  • Configure custom livestreaming at the session level
    Custom livestreaming service settings can now be configured for each session in the Sessions tab. Previously, these settings could only be configured within a live session once the event had started.

    The host, alternative host, co-editors, and speakers (who have been given permission) can now edit and create new polls or quizzes while a session is live/ongoing. The new or updated polls/quizzes will be published and available during the live session.
    Note: Edits made by speakers are still submitted for approval to the host or alternative host before they can be published.
• Attendee features
  • Direct attendees/pre-registered attendees to specific ticket
    When attendees or pre-registered attendees click View Ticket in their event confirmation emails, they will be automatically directed to their specific ticket for that event. Previously, attendees/pre-registered attendees were taken to the general Tickets page.

    Geographic availability now applies to Zoom Events pre-registration. Pre-registered attendees will comply with Zoom Events geographic availability.
  • Join Expo booth sessions without live streaming
