If you’re seeing a dot appear after some attendee names during live Zoom sessions (e.g. "Hannah ."), this is due to how attendee names are passed from HeySummit to Zoom.
When attendees register, we ask for their full names. If they only enter a first name and leave the last name blank, we still need to provide Zoom with a value for the last name field—Zoom requires both first and last names.
In these cases, we automatically use a dot (.
) as a placeholder for the missing last name. This ensures the attendee can still be registered successfully for the session.
If you'd like to collect the full name from your attendees, you can simply update the field label from "Enter your first name" to "Enter your full name" via Content > Translations. This helps prompt them to provide both first and last names during registration.
