How to schedule a webinar with registration in Zoom App
You need to schedule a webinar with registration if you want your registrants to receive the link to join your webinar after completing the brief form you will send them. In this way, you will be able to collect information from the registrants including their names, email addresses, and similar information. There is the option of automatically approving anyone who registers or to manually approve those who register.
As soon as you have scheduled a webinar with registration, you will be able to:
- CSV files can be used to import registrants
- Customize your registration questions in order to collect additional information from your visitors
- The webinar emails can be edited and you can choose which emails you would like to send
- Create a customized registration page for your website
- It is important to use multiple URLs so that you can track the origins of your registrations
- Assisting with the management of registrants and re-sending confirmation emails to them whenever necessary
- There will be a significant change to Zoom’s meeting and webinar registration in 2022. This will mean that upon registration in the web browser, the join link for the meeting or webinar will not appear on the confirmation page for attendees. As an alternative, the join link will be sent to registrants via email as part of their Zoom registration confirmation. With today’s change, attackers will have a much more difficult time obtaining a link to register with using an email address they do not control, and will be prevented from registering with unsolicited guests during meetings or webinars. By contacting Zoom Support, users can now enable the improved registration process for their accounts.
- You can schedule a webinar without requiring registrants to provide any information if you don’t need to collect this information.
- There is no way to restore the list of registrants if you edit a recurring webinar to remove registration after you schedule the webinar with registration, only if you edit the recurring webinar to allow registration in the future. This applies explicitly to only recurring webinars and even if you enable registration again. There is a possibility of restoring a previous registration list for single-session webinars.

- Attendees register once and can attend any of the occurrences: All of the events can be attended by registered participants. The registrant will be able to see all the dates and times of the webinar and will be able to register for all occurrences if they wish to attend.
- Attendees need to register for each occurrence to attend:Each occurrence must be registered separately by the registrant in order to be able to attend. On the registrant page, they can only select one date and one time that they would like to attend.
- Attendees register once and can choose one or more occurrences to attend: A registration may be made once, but attendees can choose to attend one or more occurrences at a time. During the registration process, they will be asked which dates and times they are interested in attending, and they will only be registered for those events. There are multiple options that they can choose from.
