Managing your live event from the "Start Event" modal

When you select "Start an Event" with the pink button on the top right of any deck, this will open a settings modal for your event:

Event Setting Options

Event code: This is the word at the end of your custom event URL. The format of an event URL is slideswith.com/YOURCODE. So for example, if your selected code is "ABCcorp", your event join link would be "slideswith.com/abccorp"

You can switch through event codes if you get an automated word you don't like. To change the code, just click the "change" button as many times as you like.

Or you can select your own join code word by typing it in. Just click on the word and type in your desired join code word. Please note, join code words must be at least 3 characters long, and have more letters than numbers.

Note, only upgraded accounts can type in a custom event code word.

Player limit: This is based on your plan. Free accounts can host up to 10 players (the system will give you some leeway of up to 12 in case your internet connection is shaky / a player needs to log out and log back in). To host more players, see our upgrade options.

Soundboard: The soundboard lets your players send sounds through your event.

If you select "off" before you launch, your players won't see the πŸ”ˆ icon in their phones, and won't be able to access the soundboard emoji/noise responses during that event.

You can also mute the soundboard during your event.

Advanced selections:

"Disable event recap for players": When they join your event, your players will be asked if they want an event recap sent to them after the event is over. If so, they can enter an email, and we'll automatically send them a link to your event's recap page once the event is ended. (We'll send this one email only, unless they also opt-in to our newsletter.)

If you don't want to ask players if they want a recap (or if you don't want to send one) you can turn this off if you're a premium member by selecting the "Disable" box.

"Disable player event rating"
On the last slide of your deck, your players will see a "rate this event" emoji popup, where they'll be able to select a rating and then send in a comment directly to you.

If a player sends a rating or comment, you'll be able to see it in a private, host's-eyes-only section of the event recap page (find all your recaps on your events page) once you've ended your event.

These pop ups are all optional for your players to fill out, and possible to close easily.

If you don't want to show this pop-up or get player ratings, select the "Disable" box. Both of these disable options are available to upgraded accounts.
