Joining a Zoom Event with a direct join link for speakers
There is an option for Zoom Events hosts to give conference speakers a direct link to join their event. By using the direct join link, speakers will be able to quickly join the Zoom desktop client, even if they do not have any credentials associated with the Zoom account yet.
Direct join links can be created by hosts one week before the event starts in order to make it easier for speakers to participate. In order to benefit from the direct join link, hosts and speakers will have a significant amount of lead time to rehearse before the event.
Using this feature, event hosts will be able to assist speakers to bypass any problems they may encounter while adding a speaker to their event. It is intended to deal with situations where speakers are unable to join an event when their assigned session is about to start, and they discover this at the last minute. There could be a number of reasons why they are not permitted entry to the event, such as using a different Zoom desktop client account, forgetting their login information, or their ticket being registered by an account that does not belong to them.
You will receive the link as well as a verification code in your email address. If you are using the Zoom desktop client, you can join the target session by using the link and the verification code.
