Slido is gradually rolling out a new user interface. If the below steps and visuals match what you are seeing within your account, then you are using the new interface and this article is for you. If not, please see this version.

 

If needed, you can restrict participant access to your slido based on individual email addresses and/or domains.
 

Available in our Professional plans and higher.

 

In this article:


 

Set up restricted access


Follow the below steps to enable restricted access for your slido.

  1. Open up your Settings
  2. Go to the Privacy tab and select Require authentication
  3. Toggle on Require email address and then select Restrict who can access the slido
  4. Enter your specific email addresses or domains and click Save
     
Setting up restricted accces

 

With restricted access, you can add up to 1,500 individual email addresses or domains.


 

How it works for your participants


When participants join your slido, they’ll be asked to enter their email address. If their address matches what you’ve set up for restricted access, they’ll be emailed a verification code.
 

Participant accessing a slido with restricted access

 

To ensure the security of your slido, your participants will be asked to verify their email address every time they try to join.


If the email address does not match what you’ve set up, they’ll see an error message stating: You are not allowed to join the slido with this email address.

Is there a way of adding a list of disposable email domains from a csv file without having to add each address individually?

...in the context of restricting access to asking questions.

Hello @RobertSababady 

instead of adding e-mail to the list you can just add a domain or more domains and it will allow you to set it up that way. But it is not possible to do it in a csv file upload. It needs to be added manually into Slido.

That’s what I thought Ondrej. I will need to add that functionality as a feature request to minimise spam.

Thx

Hello @RobertSababady,

Our team will get your feature request so they can consider something like this for the future development. But currently this is not something that our team is working on.

For the record we would be very much interested by that feature as well. Any chance it’s available in the next...4 weeks? :)

thanks!

Hey @Myfuture ,

This feature unfortunately is not available or on our current roadmap, but we will submit it as another feature request.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Best,
