Update

Numerous enhanced features and changes to existing ones


[Release notes for Zoom Events]

Changes to existing features

  • Community Standards renamed to Acceptable Use Guidelines
    The use of Community Standards has been changed to Acceptable Use Guidelines.
  • Separation of Zoom Events chat and Meeting chat
    Zoom Events chat is now independent of the Meeting chat setting and will continue to operate even if Meeting chat is disabled. Admins may specifically disable Zoom Events chat through the new Zoom Events settings tab in the Zoom web portal. Previously, when admins disabled the Meeting chat feature, Zoom Events chat would also be disabled.
  • China added to Zoom Events allowed countries list
    Zoom Events has updated its geographic availability to include China. Hosts can create public events (no access restriction) and enable Allow no-account join, allowing users from China to register as a guest for an event. Users from China will receive an event join link in their email inbox and can click to join the event when the event is available for attendees.

New and enhanced features

  • Host features
    • Zoom Events in-session resources
      Hosts now have a specific resource location for attendees to download files and view information about the event. Hosts can also use this in-session tool to create a resource link that directs attendees’ attention to the host’ s resources, provide more event information and details, or direct attendees to another Zoom Event session or expo. Additionally, hosts can invite speakers to edit their sessions and add their own resource links for their assigned sessions.
  • Event setup features
    • Event Branding tab General Availability
      By accessing the new Event Branding tab, events can be branded with high-level styling elements. Event organizers can manage the Event Branding configuration area to apply branding to a color palette, event backgrounds, buttons, and text. They can also preview the registration page and lobby home page and apply branding on all major pages in their event. The event colors are applied to all attendee-facing pages.
    • Apply brand styling to expo
      The background color of the expo area can be customized by applying the branding style elements defined in the Brand Center.
    • Preview registration page branding changes
      In Event Branding, Event organizers can now switch between a live preview of the registration page and lobby home page as branding style elements are added and changed.
    • Customization of certain areas of event with branding elements
      Hosts can customize— as well as reset to default— the following elements of the event lobby, session detail page, session list, itinerary page, speaker page, sponsor page, and video-on-demand pages to match the branding style elements by going to the Brand Center:
      • Font and color for the event title
      • Font and color for the session title
      • Brand logo displayed in the lobby
      • Lobby’ s background color

    • Duplicate event branding defined in Brand Center
      When an event is duplicated, all the settings set in the Event Branding section will be retained and applied automatically to the duplicated event.
    • Display Event ID and Ticket ID
      The Event ID is displayed at the bottom of the Basic Information tab for easy viewing and can be copied and pasted to be used to map events through marketing and CRM integrations. Ticket IDs can be copied in ticket management and added directly to external integrations where appropriate tickets can be issued to each attendee.
    • Registrants required to complete Zoom Events profile
      Hosts can make it mandatory for attendees to complete their Zoom Events profiles— if they haven’ t done so already— when they first enter the event lobby.
  • Special role features
    • Special role lounge
      The special role lounge is a space for special-role users during an event and is used for facilitating extra communication or getting help without disrupting the event.
    • Display sessions and task information for special-role users
      Special-role users will now see their role(s) and responsibilities for their assigned sessions in the attendee portal. Previously, the only place for special roles to see their sessions and tasks was in their emails or tickets.
    • Support for sign language interpreters
      Hosts can assign a sign language interpreter in the Sessions tab. Hosts can select the language that the sign language interpreter will sign. This feature enhances the accessibility of Zoom Events.
  • 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 link items to display in their assigned webinar sessions.
    • Changes to speaker permissions in meeting sessions
      In the Sessions tab in the event creation flow, the In-session Role column has been changed to Alternative Host— for meeting sessions only— when assigning role permissions to speakers; event organizers can only select or deselect the Alternative Host checkbox. Additionally, for meeting sessions only, the panelist role has been removed as an option.
  • Payment & Billing features
    • Enhancements to India geo-blocking and business info alert India in event
      There are several enhancements to include India in the Zoom Events creation flow. The Zoom Events platform notifies event organizers without business information about India regulation requirements and allows them to enter their business information so they can easily complete event setup.
    • Update to payout trigger date
      The ticket registration end date for paid tickets cannot be scheduled beyond the event’ s end date. Previously, the ticket registration end date could be scheduled well beyond the event’ s end date, which would delay payout for the event until the scheduled ticket registration end date.
    • Modification to corporate-level payment solution
      Zoom account admins and/or account owners who also have a Zoom Events license can modify the existing payment solution(s) at the corporate level. This allows the existing linked payment solution to be updated if the wrong payment solution was used or if an update is needed.
  • Analytics features
    • Add Total Event Attendee metrics to Analytics
      In the Analytics Summary tab, the Total Event Attendee metrics will replace the Attendee Unique Visits metric to reflect the true attendance of the event. Additionally, in the Analytics Attendees tab, the Total Event Attendee metric has been added.
      • Attendee who clicked the resource link
      • Time the resource link was clicked
      • The resource link that was clicked
    • Tooltips added to Analytics Dashboard
      Tooltips have been added to the Summary, Registration & Ticketing, Sessions, Attendees, and Surveys & Polls tabs to help define metrics.
  • Meeting/Zoom Webinar integration features
    • Zoom Events settings added to Zoom web portal
      A dedicated Zoom Events tab has been added to the Settings section in the Zoom web portal. This allows the Zoom account admin to set certain Zoom Events settings at both the account and group levels.
  • Chat features
    • Code of Conduct notification for chats
      Hosts are provided with a default Code of Conduct which they can edit to tell users about the rules for their chat and community. Hosts can enable the Code of Conduct as a dismissible overlay to appear in lobby chats when a user enters for the first time.
    • Support for adding resource link messages in chat
      Hosts can create custom resource link messages when creating an event to appear in an event’ s chat. These links help to drive attendees to action and click on links to take them to external websites to participate in things such as polls, sign-up sheets, and viewing websites.
    • Simultaneous monitoring of all live chats and user-based reports
      A new tab added to the lobby allows event moderators to view and moderate all live chats and user reports.
    • Tabs for event controls and moderation consolidated to a single page
      The controls used for controlling an event and moderating an event have been consolidated into a single page.
    • Record guest join links used two or more times
      Guest links that are used for more than two concurrent joins will be recorded in metrics. In addition, all users who joined the event using the same guest link will be removed from the event.
  • Networking features
  • Expo features
    • Enhancements to user movement on expo floor
      Attendees can click and drag the expo floor map and booth floor map to move around. The attendee avatar follows the users' window view after they click and drag the floor map.
    • Spatial view search
      In the expo spatial view, attendees can use the Search function to find booths or specific elements on the expo floor. Previously, attendees could not use the Search functionality in spatial view and could only search in the non-spatial view.
    • Expo miniature map preview
      Users can use the mini map feature to display a miniature preview of the expo floor with an avatar dot indicator. The mini map allows attendees to click and drag the view box while seeing changes on their screen.

      Event organizers and marketers can now have event registrants captured via Marketo forms and campaigns automatically sent to Zoom Events.

      Zoom Events registrants and attendees can be added to an Eloqua campaign through the Zoom feeder app.
