You can start the event on time without the host being present and can interact with the audience with live chat and Q&A. You can share pre-recorded content or upload a recording as the session. You can only access videos that belong to the hub; the videos can be existing cloud recordings created by the hub or a newly uploaded recording. Uploaded recordings are also visible in the Zoom web portal recording list and are tagged with the From a Zoom Events Hub label.
