You can manually censor an individual quiz player’s name without using the profanity filter. The profanity filter catches and censors most English profanities entered by participants. Even so, there may be other inappropriate quiz names that you want to censor manually.

​
There are 2 ways to do this

​
1. In the lobby

While waiting to start a quiz, player names gradually appear in the lobby. The presenter can censor any inappropriate name simply by clicking on the name.

​
2. On the leaderboard

On any leaderboard slide, the presenter can press the eye icon next to a participant’s name to censor it.

Once a name is manually censored this way, it stays censored until the presenter uncensors it the same way.
