Scheduling a meeting with registration in zoom App
You are able to capture more information about your attendees if you schedule a meeting that requires registration, in which attendees will be required to provide their e-mail address, name, and any optional questions, as part of the registration process. It is possible for you to manage the registrations, resend the confirmation emails, as well as create meeting registration reports, for those of you who are interested in downloading a list of people who registered.
For those who do not need to collect such a great deal of information, a meeting can be scheduled without requesting registration.
Note:
An organization may not have more than 4999 registrants at the same time. You might also want to consider using a recurring meeting with registration if you need more than the maximum number of participants, as each recurrence of the series of meetings can have up to 4999 registrants.
