F.A.Q Beekast usage
How to obtain a link or an access code of my session to share with the participants?
To have access to the public link or session code of your session, click on the Share button on the top right of your session.
You will find the public link of your session, you can copy it by clicking on the icon Copy link on the right, or send it directly via email to your participants.
The session code is unique, made up of 6 numbers, automatically generated at the creation of the session. You can communicate it to the future participants of your session in order for them to be able to join your session.
With the session code, they will need to go to the page my.beekast.com and insert the code you provided them to access your session.

How can I project and moderate my session at the same time?
To project and moderate the same session, we recommend you to use the Extended desktop. This functionality allows you to connect your computer, par example, to a second screen/videprojector to project your session.
Your facilitator screen page will not be visible to your participants. You can moderate the discussion space, scroll the slides, etc.
Can we reset a session?
It is actually possible to reset a session. It’s an action that only the owner of the session can do. For this, go to the Settings on the top of your session, by on the top right of the session, then click on the tab General. Click on Reset session, then validate by clicking on Reset.
How to export the data collected from the activities?
On the tab Results on the top of your session, you will have the possibility to generate either Meeting notes of your session in a Word format, or the Statistics on an Excel format. Click on the document you want, then select if you wish to downloaded to your device or onto your Google Drive.
How to reset the results of one activity without deleting it?
To reset the results of an activity in particular, click on the 3 little dots on the right top corner of your activity slide, then click on Reset. On the upper right corner of the activity, right next to the Stop button, you might find the reset button for other activities. A message will appear then asking you to confirm the resetting.
How to delete a session?
To delete a session, go to the page My sessions, click on the 3 little dots on the right of the session that you wish to erase, then click on Delete. Only the owner has the possibility to erase a session.
How to add a facilitator to my session?
Enter the email address of the Beekast account of the person you wish to have as a facilitator. Your facilitator must have a Beekast premium account in order to be able to present on your session.
Know more about how to add facilitators.
How to display the messages on the projection screen?
To see a message on the projection screen, go to the tab Messages on the right of your session. Then, click on the icon Project on the top of the message you wish to project.
See our tutorial on Projecting a message.
How long do I have to change the instructions for my activity?
For all activities, you can change the title and/or instructions at any time, even if the answers have already been recorded.
For assessment activities, if the activity has already started and contains answers, it is only possible to change the titles and instructions. If the session owner wishes to change the suggestions or the points awarded for the correct answer, he or she will have to reset the activity (which will delete the entries).
As far as the Challenge activity is concerned, the dynamic is changing in certain areas. The owner retains the power to modify :
The title and instructions
The question header
The explanations added at the end of each answer
However, the owner does not have the power to change :
Suggested answers
The points awarded for correct answers
If your activity has not yet started, you can change the activity settings at any time. It is your participants' answers that prevent you from changing the rest of the activity once it has started.
Can I add/delete columns to my Board afterwards?
With the Board activity, it is entirely possible to add columns as you go along during your Beekast session. This allows the facilitator, for example, to add or remove columns depending on the needs of the session.
How can I see how many people are in my session? And who answered my question?
There are several ways of checking the number of participants in your session and/or activities.
For more information on participant responses, see our article on Generating and export results.
