Why can't I see our webinars when my co-worker has already connected?
Some Act-On connectors have a universal login for the account (such as with CRMs). Other connectors will be specific to the logged in user. Zoom is specific to the Act-On user, therefore every Act-On User who will promote a Zoom webinar will need to log in to Zoom.
Why am I logged in to the wrong account?
When signing in, Act-On connects with Zoom using your browser session. If you are using different accounts for Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars, you may have an open session with the incorrect account.
Solution: Clear your browser cookies for Zoom, disconnect in Act-On and try to log in again.
