In order to make it easier to create activities that require the use of Zoom, we have made an enhancement that will allow organizers to better manage their Zoom accounts.

In order to create your meetings and webinars through Zoom, it is necessary to do so using JWT credentials. However, we understand that this can generate limitations since not all users have access to these.

This improvement now allows an account user to enter the credentials and this integration will be available to all account users, which means that you will not have to enter this data in each activity.

The first thing to do is go to the "Users" menu located in the upper right part of the screen.

Once here, you will find the "Account Integrations" tab and then click on the Zoom icon.

Finally, you must enter the JWT credentials of the Zoom account that you want to associate.

Now you can create activities only by selecting the associated account, which will facilitate the task of event organizers.

Sponsors want to keep track of the participants attending their activities. This can allow them to better prepare their presentation prior to the day of the event, in a way they can generate better engagement.

This is why we enabled a new feature which will let them set up a registration for their activities, as well as setting up a limit for the number of participants they want to host.

For this, they must go to their Sponsors Editor, create an activity, and at the bottom of the menu they will be able to activate or deactivate the registration feature. This way, participants will be able to register to these activities through the Virtual Stage.

We want your participants' experience to always be the best, which is why in order for them to make sure that all the elements for their appointments are working well, we have added validation for their one-to-one meetings.

For appointments to take place with no issues, participants need to grant camera and microphone permissionions.

Additionally, participants can set the background with the images provided by Twilio.

The meeting platform will allow you to have up to 9 participants in a call.

With these new updates, you will be able to improve your connectivity experience and speed.

We understand that some organizations have quite a few users on their accounts. Such users have different roles and task for which they are responsible.

In order to better limit the roles and assignments the users on your account have, we added a new permission that allows admin users to limit who can activate or deactivate events.

To set up this permission, the admin user must go to the "Users" tab and look for the user whom you want to change permissions. Once you find said user, click on the three dots and click on "Edit", this will display the "Module Permissions" tab. Please click on it and in the dropdown menu select "Events". Finally, you will select or unselect the "Activate and deactivate" depending on your needs.

We understand that knowing how participants interact is a critical metric to measure how good the event was.

For this reason, we added a new report which will allow organizers to know which meeting actually took place and for how long did the participants interacted with each other.

Many times, participants engage in very good interactions with other participants, but they do not have the opportunity to meet again inside the Virtual Stage.

In order for participants to meet multiple times with the same participant, we have added the feature to limit the maximum number of meeting.

You can configure this by entering the Networking module and in the Actions menu by clicking on Advanced Settings.

One of the main objectives of event organizers is to generate engagement among the participants.

With this in mind, we have added a feature that allows participants to create their own channels to discuss and interact with each other.

For this, participants must go to their chats' module on the Virtual Stage, and there they will find the button "Create new channel". Participants will be able to create a discussion channel with a compelling title and description to generate interest among other participants.

Each organization is different from the others, that is why depending on their needs they will have different mail suites for their collaborators. For this reason, it is now possible to add your events to the participants' preferred calendar.

When they receive the welcome email, they just have to click on the "Add to Calendar" button and the different options will open.

We want to keep up with all the updates our partners make. For this reason, we updated our Zoom Web client in order to allow clients to use all available features, generating the best experience for participants.

You can read more about the allowed features here.

We want the experience of the participants to be the best always. In order for them to verify that all the elements necessary for your appointments are working correctly, we have added a validation to the networking meetings.

It is important that participants allows access to camera and microphone so that the meetings can go on correctly.
