Support for Zoom webinar

  • Short of time to investigate thoroughly myself by setting up a test environment…

    I can see many references to webinar, but no examples of creating an event in Zoom as a webinar (one broadcast to many), rather than a meeting (many broadcast to many). It isn’t possible to import a list of participants into a zoom meeting using the zoom website, but it is possible to import a list into a zoom webinar. Is the only difference for this plugin the meeting URL? Can you confirm that it can register users for either zoom meetings or zoom webinars, with synching into zoom website?

    Also, if each participant (not zoom meeting organizer) is an authenticated user on the wordpress site, then using the wordpress page to register in the meeting in zoom, and then they can browse the wordpress site to see an event page with a link to click on which is their unique event link (the unique meeting and participant link) that zoom sends them to click on to open zoom and attend the meeting? ie the event link is their link, not an open unauthenticated link which if shared allows anyone to attend?

    And if I have a csv file of event attendees, is it easy to import this which then creates attendees/registrants in the meeting or webinar? I just need a link to a reference page showing this…I presume it’s as easy as updating WP database tables or something, but want to confirm that this is possible with the plugin…

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    We’re just reviewing past threads to help resolve them and then hopefully new forum posters will read our recently created sticky post at the top of this forum, asking users to direct questions to our Events Manager plugin forum instead, which we monitor daily!

    Creating a webinar is pretty much the same as a meeting, so our webinar docs point to the meeting docs because we’d be repeating ourselves.

    Panelist management is currently unavailable, you’d need to add panelists via zoom.com

    The unique join links are only available in our email templates via the #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK placeholder.

    It’s not possible to import bookings into Events Manager. However, bookings made at an EM event can be automatically exported to a Zoom webinar/meeting if you change the location type to a webinar/meeting.

    I’ll mark this resolved in anticipation. If not, please let me know and unresolve this thread. We can finish resolving this issue on this forum for now!
