When you use webinars you can work with registrations. Participants have to confirm they will be attending before they are let in. The benefit of this is that you will have more control over the maximum number of participants. You can also decide who you will and will not let in before the meeting starts. You can also ask additional questions during the registration, for example about the background of the participants or whether they have questions beforehand.
Turn on registrations
Registrations have to be turned on in the webinar settings.
- Navigate to https://zoom.us and log in using your Radboud Zoom account.
- Navigate to Webinars.
- Navigate to Upcoming.
- Select the webinar you want to turn on registrations for.

If the webinar is part of a series, you can decide between the following options:
- Attendees register once and can attend any of the occurrences: Partipants have to register once, and can then participate in all meetings.
- Attendees need to register for each occurence to attend: Participants have to register for each individual meeting.
- Attendees register once and can choose one or more occurences to attend: Particiants have to register once and then choose one or multiple meetings they want to attend. They have to select which date and time they want to attend and will only be registered for these meetings.
