Customize a session
Choose what kind of a session you would like to create - Face-to-Face or a Remote session. Face-to-face sessions are used when you and your attendees are in the same room. Remote sessions are useful when you have attendees spread across multiple locations.

To engage attendees, request them to 'like' a slide when they feel the content was informative and useful.

Make custom attend URLs
To add a personal touch, customize the attend URL while you schedule a session. You can customize it on the Session Details section and share it with your attendees so they can register and join your session. Your attendees can simply connect through https://attend.zoho.com/MYKEY.

People clapped to show their appreciation and booed to show their disapproval since the Roman times. Even today, in many senates and parliaments 'yays' and 'nays' are registered verbally.

However, is there a way to change this setting after the department has been created?
