Why is the joining screen being skipped when I present my slido?

When I share the present mode as a host, instead of staying on the screen where it just shows the QR code (and give people time to join and setup), it immediately jumps into the first poll question with the QR code on the left side. How do I stop it from doing that?

Hello @Kylewis98 

The best way to ensure that your Present mode is only showing the joining instructions and nothing else, is to make sure you haven’t started any polls and that you don’t have any Q&A questions submitted. If you do not have any active polls, Present mode will default to displaying your Q&A. It’s only when you have no Q&A questions (or if you’ve closed your Q&A) where it will only display the joining instructions. 

 

For your use case, I’d recommend triple-checking that you have no polls running and close your Q&A to start. You can then run your polls and open up the Q&A whenever you like. 

I hope that helps!

Hi Ondrej,

I am also encountering the same issue.

Has this been figured out?

Thanks,

Hello ​@Eviebat 

would it be possible for you to record a screen of that behaviour and either send it somehow here or directly to support@slido.com team? They would be able to take a look and assist. 

It is hard to tell without actually seeing the experience.
