Please note: Once you change the ownership of a session, that session will no longer be available to you on your own dashboard, unless the corresponding colleague invites you again through the sharing option. 

Deleting a session

Sessions can only be deleted by the owner of the session. Should you wish to delete your session? A warning message will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Please note that data in a deleted session will not be able to be retrieved afterwards.

Sessions in Vevox are controlled by the Session Status. This is the place where you start and end your session The session status will appear in the drop-down menu of the Session information panel of your dashboard. A session can either be:

• Started: The session is active and available for participants to join.
• Waiting: The session is ready to begin, participants can join the session but cannot access the messaging or polling.
• Stopped: The session is inactive and cannot be found by participants.

When you first create a new session it will always begin in the Waiting state.
