Generating reports for registration and polling in zoom App
Reporting on attendance, registration, and polling using Zoom is helpful for gathering information. For further analysis, you can generate a registration or polling report for your Zoom meeting if registration or polling are enabled. In addition, you can also generate survey reports if your meeting includes a post-meeting survey.
Registration reports typically contain the following information about registered participants, although you may be able to see additional information depending on your registration settings:
- Name and surname
- Your email address
- Registration date and time
- Status of approval
Notes:
- Depending on the meeting settings, you can also find the following information in the polling report about the participants who answered a poll question:
- In the case that registration was turned on and this was an anonymous poll, then it would display the names and email addresses of the participants, each question in the poll, and the answer of the participants, as well as the time and date the answers were submitted.
- If registration was not activated, the polling report will show the profile names of respondents who were not authenticated and the names and email addresses of respondents who were authenticated. It will also include every poll question, each response and the date and time at which each submission was made.
- In the event of an anonymous poll, the names and email addresses of the participants will show “anonymous”.
- To be able to create reports for meetings, a paid account must be used. You will not be able to generate reports for meetings hosted prior to upgrading your account.
- In the web portal, Meeting IDs are automatically deleted 30 days after the scheduled date or the date the meeting was last attended, and the meeting ID can no longer be seen under My Meeting IDs. As a result, the meeting will have the same effect as if it had been deleted manually. Reports from registration and polling are also deleted with the ID, although the reports from registration and polling will be available for up to one year.
- In a similar manner, you cannot generate a report for a meeting that you have deleted from the Meetings list on the web portal in the same way. You can still download the report that you generated before the meeting was deleted.
- After your meeting has been concluded, you should generate meeting reports within 30 minutes of the meeting ending. The re-generation of a report to obtain the information collected during a meeting should be done if you generated one before starting the meeting. The polling reports can only be generated after the poll has ended during the live session. For a poll report to be generated and downloaded, the host must be using the desktop client version 5.4.7 or higher during a live session.
- The poll report will only display the last poll occurrence for a poll that was relaunched during a meeting. You should consider creating a second poll with the same questions as the original if you need to launch the same poll twice and want both sets of data. This will eliminate a relaunch of the poll.
