one-time Event plan

Hello,

I recently purchased a one-time Event plan for an event scheduled on October 28.

After reading the documentation and several community posts, my understanding is that the one-time plan is attached to a single Slido and that hosts can prepare and test it in advance, even with colleagues participating in polls, quizzes, and Q&A sessions.

However, I am still unclear about what exactly Slido considers to be an "event".

For example, if I create my Slido today and invite colleagues to actively test all features before October 28:

  • Is this still considered testing?
  • At what point does testing become an actual event?
  • Are testing participants counted toward the participant limit?
  • Does pre-event testing affect the 7-day event duration in any way?

I would appreciate some clarification on how a one-time Event plan is intended to be used in practice.

Thank you

Hi ​@Jvass 

The 7 day duration relates to the slido dates. Slido dates are the time frame during which participants can join your slido using its unique code at www.slido.com. If you need your audience to join and participate outside those specific dates, you can share either the joining link or QR code with them.

So the 7 days will be based on the slido dates you set for your event for example October 22-28.

On top of this you can prepare your slido and test as well. Testing will count towards the participant limit. 

Hope this helps.
