Zoom -- Using Registration for Public Zoom Meetings

Introduction

If you are hosting an event that is open to the public,
using the Zoom Registration feature can be of great assistance.

  • You want people to sign up or "register" to know who is attending.
  • You can generate an RSVP list for who is attending the event.
  • And lets you only share the Zoom link with those who registered.

Registration for small meetings or classroom use is probably more work than it's worth.

We highly recommend the following for *ALL* Drexel Zoom meetings.

For any Zoom Meetings whose links are listed on a public website or that will have a large audience,
we also HIGHLY RECOMMEND the following
to keep the meeting secure and free of Zoom bombing ( Zoombombing ).
