Or choose one of the suggested activities to create your next session.
Choose the slide scrolling mode
After creating a session, the default scrolling mode is synchronous. You can change the scrolling mode via the Settings gear icon > General tab > Session mode.
There are two slide scrolling modes on Beekast:
Synchronous mode (scrolling by the facilitator): the presenter controls the transition from one slide to the next. Participants can't navigate on their own: when you change slides, their screen automatically updates to show the same slide as yours.
Asynchronous mode (participant scrolling): each participant navigates through the slides at their own pace, independently, without being tied to the facilitator's pace.
Rename your session
By default, the session adopts a generic name, "New session + date of creation."
This name can be changed by clicking the title directly at the top of the session, or via the Settings gear icon at the top of the session > General tab > Session name.
💡Good to know
Creating new sessions is not available on mobile. To create a new session, please use the web version of Beekast on a computer.
Your session is ready: all that's left is to add content — interactive activities or simple slides.
