Meeting Point by Slido

Did you know July is named after Julius Caesar, who introduced the leap year and gave us an extra day every four years? While we can’t add a day to your month, we’ve been working behind the scenes to help you make the most of the ones you have. Read on to discover the latest improvements we added to Slido in July. 💬 Q&A content card improvements in Host mode We’ve given the Q&A content card a fresh, more compact design to help hosts stay organized. The questions list is now more concise, giving you the space and flexibility you need to manage Q&A smoothly during live meetings and events. Refreshed Q&A content card 🤝 Easier collaboration access to a slido in shared PowerPoint presentations You can now let anyone with access to your PowerPoint file view and use the linked slido. Just head to the Collaboration option in the Slido menu. By default, it’s set to Invite only, but you can switch to Automatic access to make it easier for others to manage the slido and see the results.
