The customer has a valuable suggestion regarding Slido: they would like participants who have logged in to be prepared before the host begins the poll. At present, they receive a message stating "no active poll." To enhance the experience, the customer proposes displaying a message that says, "We will start in a moment." This small change could significantly improve clarity and anticipation among participants.

Hello ​@Rose Rivera ,

Mikaella here from Slido -  thank you for sharing your idea 😊

As a workaround, you can activate a poll before your meeting so participants can join while waiting for the host.  If you need a special message like "We will start in a moment." instead of there are no active polls right now, you can create a graphic and upload the image to your poll and show the image side by side. I hope this helps in the meantime and I can see how this can benefit or guide the participant experience. 

My best, 
Mikaella from slido
