How do I pre-create a team or profile for my participants?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The creator of the Experience can enable the ability to allow participants to create their own teams and profiles, or they can choose to create the teams themselves in advance.

How do I turn off the ability for participants to create their own teams?

By default, participants will be prompted to create their own team or profile when joining the Experience.

You can turn off the ability for participants to create their own teams by selecting the "I'll do it manually" option for organizing your participants from the "Participants" tab in the "Publish" section of the studio.

Helpful Honk: You will not be able to edit profiles created by the participants in the app, and participants will not be able to edit profiles created by you (the creator).

5. Add a team photo

It is best to add a team photo, as participants won't be able to add a team photo to any teams that are pre-created by you.
