We setup a webinar and it asks for a name and email when the user joins the webinar. I want the user to be able to enter the webinar without having to type in their email and name. I was able to use the “uname” parameter to pre-populate the name, but is it possible to do the same for email? If not is it possible to make the webinar not ask for email when the user joins the webinar? ---

Hey @zxcjason, The only way to do this is by using Webinar Registration and the Zoom App (not the Zoom Web Client). > **[Scheduling a Webinar with Registration](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204619915-Scheduling-a-Webinar-with-Registration)** > > Overview > Scheduling a Webinar with registration requires your registrants to complete a brief form before receiving the link to join your webinar. This allows you to collect the names, email addres... Thanks, Tommy ---

Hello Tommy, Jason Is this still the case? We find this to be inconvenient, and really want to be able to bring attendees in without them having Zoom ask them for their Name and Email address. I know that registration is a possibility, but the URL would be so much better, it takes a multi-step process and makes it much simpler. Thanks in Advance ---

Hi @ryoung , Thanks for sharing this feedback. While this is still the case, I can certainly appreciate the value in being able to pass this information directly in the URL itself. If you’re so inclined, I recommend submitting a feature request for this here for our team to further consider: #feature-requests Thanks, Will ---

Will, Thank you, can you please clarify one thing? Are you saying that there is no way to pass this information **AT ALL** , or just that it can’t be done through the URL? I want to be able to bring an attendee into a zoom conference, I already know their name and email address, I don’t want them to have to enter it again. Is there a way to do this without using Zoom Pre-Registration? Thank you for clarifying. ---

Hey @ryoung, Thank you for your question. If the user already has a Zoom account, it will use the name and email from their account. Otherwise, there isn’t an option to set the name and email for a user joining a meeting. Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

Hello! We have just the oposite problem - we want to know who was joining the meeting. And because we have meetings, where mostly the atendees are eldery people, who don’t know how to use zoom, they often join the meeting on sibilings computer, not from their own zoom account. So often it comes to confusion, who was on the meeting and who wasn’t. Is there a way to ask partipants to write name and e-mail before they log in to a meeting? Thank you! Anita ---

Oh, and one more question is there a way you can get a list of who was on the meeting, when and for how long? Thank you! ---
