Ejecting participants

We use standalone slido for groups of people in-person and remotely.

 

We like the fact that it is easy for everyone to join.

 

However, we started having a problem with people using inappropriate named for themselves. So, I need to be able to eject them. Is there a way to eject them during the event?

 

Our current license is professional. But, if I needed to upgrade to get this feature, that would probably be worth it.

Hi ​@nw-admin!

While there is no way to kick out a specific participant.  If the name is visible in the Q&A or in the open text responses, you can delete or archive the question or the answer associated with that user. 

You may also want to consider using the restricted access feature- having an email associated with the user may prevent them from naming themselves inappropriately.  This would only be useful if you also require name for the participant privacy setting

Hope this helps!  You can also share this as a suggestion to the Slido Wishlist.

@Christyn from Slido Thank you.

This should be added as a feature on the roadmap.

We have a presentation for a large group and it’s a great way to get everyone involved and engaged without too much overhead. But, this last time, we had problem with people using inappropriate names, which is why it would be good to eject them.

For us, the simplicity joining the slido is a key aspect of the use-case. If we have to register based on email address, it would reduce the value of using the slido..

If this problem continues, this issue can block us from using slido and/or cause us to use another platform. I don’t mean that to be negative. Slido is great. I’m just articulating the use-case and value of such a feature.

Hi ​@nw-admin!

Thank you for the feedback!  The best option would be to add it to the Wishlist. This is where our product team would review cases for future development.

I can share the feedback internally as well, but would definitely recommend sharing on our wishlist!
