Editing session or Speaker Bio as an invited Speaker in Zoom App
You have the ability to edit your speaker bio or assigned session after a Zoom Events host adds a speaker session to a conference event, and then delegated the editing and addition of information to you (the speaker), so that you can make any changes needed. Adding polls to your session is also something you can do. In this case, the host will review the edits and polls, approve or reject them, and submit them to the moderator.
