The Zoom Events mobile web browser experience is an easy way for attendees to join events and get the end-to-end event experience on mobile web browsers. Attendees do not have to download the latest version of the Zoom client to attend an event; they can participate in virtually all aspects of the event from their browser, including the Lobby, Expo, and Exhibitors tabs. Zoom Events (web) supports mainstream web browsers supported by web meeting SDK.

Attendees who tap Join on the mobile client will continue to open the lobby window on the mobile client. Attendees who tap Join from other places will open the Lobby tab on their mobile web browser (after they sign in to Zoom Events or join Zoom Events on the browser).

For attendees who start events on web browsers, Zoom Events (web) supplements the client-centric event experience. After signing in to their Zoom account, attendees will land in the event lobby on their mobile web browser. The web browser lobby includes livestreaming, lobby chat, sessions list and details, itinerary, survey, and report. It also includes the following features:

• Attendees can multitask between the Sessions tab and the Home tab.
  Note: The mobile web browser supports the event lobby and lobby chat. However, attendees on mobile web browsers will be redirected to the Zoom app when joining a session. The mobile app is needed for joining sessions. You cannot join a session on the mobile web browser.
• Attendees can participate in Q&A, session polls, and surveys.
• Attendees can rate their experience and share feedback with Zoom Events.
• Attendees can switch to the Zoom desktop client at any time from the web browser lobby.

Notes:

• When special role users switch from the web browser to the desktop client, they will be directed to the Zoom client to start sessions; they don’t need to sign in to the client to start a session. This applies to both desktop and mobile clients.
• Attendees can access all lobby tabs on mobile and tablet web browsers. Attendees can view each tab's information in portrait or landscape mode.
• When joining an event, attendees are given the option to continue on the mobile web browser (desktop browser only) or to join through the Zoom client instead. If they choose to join in the web browser lobby, the event will open in a new tab on their browser. Attendees will be prompted to confirm audio and video before joining an event session on their browser.
• Attendees can always switch to the Zoom mobile client after joining the event on a web browser.
