Recognize and reward participant engagement with digital badges
Digital badges are visual achievements that participants earn for their contributions during Zoom meetings. They serve as:
Awarded for consistent engagement throughout the meeting

Awarded for providing solutions or helpful answers
For collaborative behavior and supporting others
For creative ideas and innovative thinking
Award badges in real-time during the meeting:
In the Participants tab, click on the participant you want to recognize

Include a personal message explaining why they earned the badge
Click "Award Badge" to send it immediately. The participant will receive a notification.
Configure automatic badge awarding based on engagement thresholds:

Verbally acknowledge badge awards during the meeting. This public recognition increases the value of the badge and motivates others.
