Creating a Zoom Events hub

A hub is a collection of upcoming, current, and past events that were created by a group of hosts. Hubs are ideal to separate events related to a specific subject. As a Zoom Events license holder, you can create hubs.

A Zoom Events license is required to set up a Zoom Events hub. If you are not a Zoom Events license holder, please contact your Zoom account's admin.

Notes:

• When you initially get started with Zoom Events as a host, your account's default hub must be published before you can create an event. Please go to the Manage tab and publish your account’s default hub.
• You can only create a Zoom Events hub if you're using Organizer Mode.
• Once you have created a hub, you can add a payments account to it, enabling paid events to be published to your hub. If a payments account is not added, your hub will not be able to have paid events published to it.
• While access to Zoom Events is generally available worldwide, whether a user can register for and join an event, as well as the ability to host free and/or paid events, is determined by which country or region the user—host or attendee—is located in.
