Using Zoom Events registration management
The Zoom Events registrant management tool enables event organizers to easily manage their registrations and registrants in a single location, thus contributing to the success of their events by simplifying the registration process. It is possible for Zoom Event organizers to access registration data so they can manage tasks related to individually registering or registering with a group of individuals or groups they have created. A registration tool can also be used to create a direct link for speakers to join or to track the source of attendees so they can be contacted after the event.
This feature allows hosts and event organizers to manage their registrants at the event level by providing them with the tools they need to manage their registrants more effectively. As well as viewing, sorting, and filtering the special roles, regular attendees’ details, and registration status of their events, the event hosts and event organizers can also make allocations.

How to manage Registration Tools
Create Direct Join Link for Speakers
As long as the event host creates a direct join link one week in advance, speakers will be able to join 10 days in advance, allowing them to get familiar with the event before it begins. Using a direct join link will enable hosts and speakers to rehearse ahead of the event with a significant amount of notice, allowing them to prepare well in advance.
Note:
It is based on the start time of the event, which is 240 hours before it’s scheduled to start, that the 10-day period applies.
You may find more information on Direct Join Links for Speakers in this support article that can be found here.
Create Source Tracking for Attendees
Note:
It is only possible for public conference events to register for the Source Tracking for Attendees registration tool. The source tracking of internal events will not be included in the event.
The host now has the ability to create a unique link for every keyword, then measure how many registrants and visitors are viewing the event from each link based on the metrics. If you share the event registration page in multiple locations, you will be able to track the location of your registrants if you use source tracking. For each type of medium and keyword that you use to invite attendees, you can create a unique source tracking link so that you can track the results. Using the source tracking link, you might be able to see which platform users register on if, for example, you share it on Facebook and another on Twitter.
In order to track how many people visit and complete the registration process on the registration page, you can create up to 50 unique registration URLs for each of the platforms and share them with others.
As a result of the automatic generation of the source tracking links, it is not possible to customize the unique URL that is generated.
Note: It is not permitted for there to be duplicate source names.
