Simplification. Speaker Links. Simulive Updates | What's New | Zoom Webinars & Events | May 2026

The What's New with Webinars & Events series is back — and May's release is all about simplification. Six updates across analytics, event creation, speaker management, and simulive that make your events easier to build, easier to run, and easier to learn from. This month Zoom continues its analytics redesign with a standardized experience across all event types, a completely rethought Summary tab, and a new unified People tab that finally puts registration and attendance data in one place. A new Quick Download panel — built from direct customer feedback — puts your most-used reports one click away. Event creation gets a streamlined 3-step wizard and a cleaner six-tab builder. And speaker management just got a lot faster with bulk speaker link export. To close, two simulive updates that together make pre-recorded sessions feel genuinely polished: Certification support for simulive events, and the ability to schedule an early start with pre-show video so attendees arrive to something purposeful — not a blank screen.
