Managing Zoom Sessions Event Configuration

Last Updated:

The Event Configuration tab is where you can add the fundamental and descriptive details of the event. The required fields on this page must be completed to save the event as a draft.

Additionally, Zoom Sessions event organizers can view, filter, sort, and search through their event’s change history. An event’s change history keeps track of updates and edits in the event workflow, making it easier for hosts to review and manage their event’s edits. Hosts can sort and filter the change history by date/time, date range, editor name, and step name.

For more information about Zoom Sessions event setup, please visit Creating a Zoom Sessions event.

Note: Some fields in the Event Configuration tab will already be pre-populated from the Create Event card, which you will see and complete first after clicking the Create Event button.
