Getting Started Guide

There Are 2 Different User Roles To Be Aware of in Conferences i/o...

The Admin

Moderators

Create & Edit Sessions
Set Up Presenters
Create Evaluation Questions
Set Passwords
Change Branding (colors and logos)

The Admin

Tasks performed by The Admin are primarily completed prior to the event. Admins typically do not perform real-time tasks during an event. Admin tasks include:

Create Polls
Embed Polls into PowerPoint
Moderate Q&A
Respond to Questions
Export data report

Moderators

Each session on your app has a Moderator role. Moderators manage the features & settings within their session. Moderator tasks can include setup prior to an event as well as real-time management during their session. Moderator tasks include:

*Having a separate moderator in each session room is ideal but not required. Presenters can easily "self-moderate" their session.

About Passwords...

There are no usernames with Conferences i/o. Instead, there's a single Admin password for accessing administration functions.

For moderators, there's a global shared moderator password (no usernames) but you can create and assign unique moderator passwords to presenters, if desired.

Creating Your Sessions

An Admin's first step is to create the sessions which will appear on your app's home page.

Sessions will store poll questions and Q&A submissions. Each session will have its own distinct list of polls and Q&A entries.

On the next page, a short video will walk you through the process to create sessions.
