Hey @PGibbons ,

You’re correct here, we will be deprecating this feature with the Old Host Mode in the beginning of 2025.

To stay up to date on which features are being moved over and which features are not we created this helpful article:

You can continue using this feature in the Old Host Mode by switching back from the Help? button in the bottom left corner of your slido.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Thanks @Carly from Slido appreciate the clarification on this. Very disappointed to hear it won’t be transitioned across to the new experience as this will a negative impact to some of our use cases. In the meantime will continue to use the old experience whilst we look at how to mitigate this going into 2025.

Hi, I am also sad to see this function being deprecated.  Can you tell me exactly when in 2025 as I have conferences until 8th Feb and would like to use this facility.

Hey ​@PeteFoxONT ,

We dont have a date set yet but it wont be until after February 2025.

We are also reconsidering the Sessions feature but it has not been decided yet.

Please keep updated from the link I shared above and be on the lookout for any email updates regarding the deprecation of Old Host Mode which will be sent out months before we deprecate it.

Let us know if this helps or if you have any other questions!

Best,

thanks for the update.  Please dont deprecate it!!  Its so useful when running a full on single or multiday conference to keep the polls structured so you know for a session which polls need to be actioned…..
