Allowing participants/panelists to rejoin in Zoom App
If you remove a meeting participant, a webinar attendant, or a webinar panelist from a live meeting, they will not be able to rejoin the live session using the same email address, but they will be able to rejoin the conference at a later date if they have an active meeting subscription. We can adjust this behavior so that removed participants are able to rejoin the session, however the live session will not be affected right away because it will need to be stopped and restarted before the new behavior is observed.
