Account owners and admins can enable or disable networking in Zoom Events, allowing users to view profiles, connect, applaud, and so on. Account owners and admins can control this account-level setting in the Zoom Events tab on the Zoom web portal. They can also lock this setting at the account level.
If an admin has disabled networking, hosts cannot adjust the setting in the event. The setting will be greyed out, and hosts will receive the message, “Your admin has locked this setting.”
Prerequisites for allowing hosts to enable networking in Zoom Events
- Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Education account
