Can you trust the numbers in Zoom?

What does Zoom keep track of?

• On paid accounts, Zoom keeps a history of the meetings and webinars held, which an account owner or admin can look back on for a chosen stretch of time.

  In Zoom's own words: Provides access to meeting and webinar history for a defined time range. Getting started with Zoom reporting, read 2026-11-12.

• Zoom keeps a log of the meetings each signed-in person on the account joined or hosted, which an account owner or admin on a paid account can open.

  In Zoom's own words: Attendee log shows all meetings an authenticated user in the account has participated in. Using Attendee Log, read 2026-11-12.

What can make Zoom's numbers look wrong?

1. A report pulled right after a meeting can be incomplete, since Zoom's help pages say complete reports can take up to 30 minutes.

   In Zoom's own words: Recently ended meetings may take up to 30 minutes to generate complete reports. Getting started with Zoom reporting, read 2026-11-12.

2. Meetings hosted on a free account produce no report, as Zoom's help pages say, so they are missing from report totals.

   In Zoom's own words: Only meetings hosted by paid accounts will generate reports. Getting started with Zoom reporting, read 2026-11-12.

3. Answers from an earlier run of the same poll can go missing from the poll report, because Zoom's help pages say it shows only the last run.

   In Zoom's own words: If a poll is relaunched in a meeting, the poll report will only display the last poll occurrence. Generating meeting reports for registration, Q&A, polling, and surveys, read 2026-11-12.

4. Meetings your team joined on another company's Zoom can look thinner in the attendee log, since Zoom's help pages say only part of their data is shown.

   In Zoom's own words: Only a subset of the meeting data will be shown for external meetings. Using Attendee Log, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check Zoom's numbers myself?

1. An account owner or admin on a paid account can pick a date range or a person's email in the attendee log to see exactly which meetings sit behind a total.

   In Zoom's own words: In the By Users tab, select a date range or enter a target email address to view its attendee logs. Using Attendee Log, read 2026-11-12.

2. If a meeting report was made before the meeting started, making it again afterwards brings in what was collected during the meeting.

   In Zoom's own words: If you generated a report before starting the meeting, you should re-generate the report to obtain the data collected during the meeting. Generating meeting reports for registration, Q&A, polling, and surveys, read 2026-11-12.

How does Zoom work with Feder?

Connect Zoom to Feder and it joins your Reach apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Zoom.

When you connect Zoom, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Questions owners ask about Zoom

• Why don't my Zoom attendees match my registrants?A meeting's registration report can cover all registrants, only approved registrants or only denied ones, so a registrant count depends on which group the report was made for.
• Why is a Zoom meeting missing from my reports?A meeting deleted from the host's list of meetings can no longer have reports made for it.
• Why doesn't my Zoom participant count match the meeting?People who waited in the waiting room but were never let in are not included in the report's participant count.
