With the role of Account Admin, you can change the default settings and theme colors for all newly created sessions in your account to ensure a standardized experience whenever using Vevox . 

With admin access, you can:

• Set Session defaults - such as poll and Q&A preferences, participant identification, enable profanity filters, set up welcome messages in App and include joining instructions for Present view.
• Turn on the Profanity filter - customize and manage the profanity filter.
• Change the branding -modify Vevox’s appearance to match your brand in the Participant App & in Present view
• Enable SSO -  manage access control through login management, including auto-provisioning, password settings, and participant authentication
• Use the Account Admin option to delete the Vevox account if required

These settings apply to all sessions created under your subscription and can only be modified by administrators in the Vevox account.

3. Customize the Profanity filters

Admins can edit the profanity filter by adding or removing words from the default list. These changes apply to all future sessions.

4. Setting the branding options. 

Modify Vevox’s appearance to match your brand:

• Participant app – Set custom images and colors.
• Present view – Upload a company/institution logo, background, and color scheme. Instruction text - Choose light or dark text for better readability based on your brand colors.

Logo and images

• Logo - Appears above joining instructions in Present View. (Recommended size: 310px x 270px, ratio: 1.15:1)
• Wide Banner Image – Displays on the participant app info screen. (Recommended size: 1440px x 622px, ratio: 2.32:1)
• Backgrounds - Sets the Present View background (if no image is uploaded, Vevox’s default applies). (Recommended size: 1920px x 1080px, ratio: 16:9).  If no background image is provided or the default Vevox one is deleted it will revert to the Present view background color.  Upload your own background image/ try one from our free to use Unsplash photo library
