Updates to Zoom Events and Zoom Sessions
- Zoom Events licensing migration – When migrating from the old Zoom Events licensing model to the new licensing model, the license owner is required to migrate one existing hub they own (if applicable) or a new hub will be created for the license owner to own the new Zoom Events Unlimited plan. During the migration process, all assets that were on a hub that had multiple owners will be transferred to and owned by the new single owner to which the hub was migrated.
- Introducing the Zoom Events Unlimited license – The Zoom Events Unlimited license model is structured to prioritize work between all event organizers assigned to the creation of an event. Each Zoom Events Unlimited license includes 1 hub—owned by the license owner (the hub owner)—and includes the capacity to add up to 4 hub hosts and 3 co-editors—known as organizers—who are on the same Zoom account as that hub. Zoom Events Unlimited license holders cannot schedule multiple events for the same date and time and cannot run concurrent live events. An event's capacity is related to the license capacity defined by the hub owner's license.
- Introducing the Zoom Events Pay Per Attendee license – The Zoom Events Pay Per Attendee license is structured to prioritize total event attendance to an event, at an affordable price per attendee. This licensing model is ideal for users who plan to hold multiple smaller events throughout the year or launch one or two big events in a year, where planning for the total number of registrants/attendees is more plausible. Hosts on the Zoom Events Pay Per Attendee license can run multiple concurrent live events if they own an equal number of hubs.
