Disable Poll feature

Hey @cloudcastmedia ,

Thanks for posting this!

This is currently a bug we are working on to allow for the Polls tab to be deactivated when you only want to use Q&A in Slido.

This feature will be available by the time we have the new interface enabled by default (with the option to still switch back to the old interface).

We have a special article to share what features we will be adding to the new interface and what features will be deprecated.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Best,

Hi, I’m still seeing polling - no way to turn it off. Is this fixed? Thanks,

Hey @FT_Live ,

The option to disable Polls is currently being worked on. 

We will be updating the article linked in my previous post when each feature has been completed and added to the New Host Mode.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best,

How hard is it to remove the polls?  They used to be an option like everything else, leaving them on all the time is just a potential distraction. Please return the option for us to remove it.

Hey ​@Brad2112 ,

The ability to disable the Polls feature is currently being worked on. It will return to the New Interface soon.

There is an article linked above where we explain which features are being moved over/worked on for the New Interface.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Posted this issue 7 months ago. Any update if we can remove poll option when not in use? I reverted back to the old interface because this fault. 

Hi ​@cloudcastmedia,

Not yet, for now please use the old interface to access the setting. We got a little delayed with this one, but we will not deactivate the old interface before adding this option to the new interface. Apologies for the hassle!

Dear Slido team,

When this issue wil be solved?

Hi ​@Europa, we’re still evaluating whether to bring back the feature for disabling polls in our new Slido interface. For now, you can switch to the old Slido interface to access this feature. To stay up to date on features that may be returning or are being deprecated, please see this article.
