How can I cancel my subscription?

Is it possible to embed a static element, such as an image or a text box, within a Slido slide or alongside it during a presentation?

Why does the connection to Slido stop working when I upload a PowerPoint with embedded Slido polls to SharePoint?

Can I add an image to an individual Slido interactive polling slide embedded within my Powerpoint presentation? 

Since Outlook/office COM add-in will no long be supported by Microsoft is there a web-add-in version for Slido if so, please provide information on installation, etc. If there is nothing available at this time, please provide and ETA when it will be available for use ThanksDeborah Jackson.

Wondering if anyone has found a workaround now that they have removed the ‘assign session’ option with the new interface? We deal with hundreds of slidos per conference and use that feature to organize them per speaker.. since we trigger the slidos from a master machine it was very helpful from an organization standpoint. Any advice before I cancel my account? We would hate to have to introduce new software.

If a question from Q&A is relevant, and we want to turn it in an Open text Poll, can this be done? 

Hello,Is there a way to remove the “Edit Response” option after a participant casts a vote?Thank you.Sam

Hi, I’m using Slido during teaching on a tropical medicine course, primarily for multiple choice. It worked great last year, so i just upgraded to Engage. Suddenly I’m having problems, my computer says my power points are “corrupted”, I cant save my presentations anymore and have had to remove all Slidos from my presentations to be able to save them. They also look like in this picture; stating how the app must be installed, but it already is. I have tried to delete and install the “Slidos for powerpoint” again, but the same thing is happening. Has anyone got any experience with this? I have a presentation Thursday (in 2 days) and would love to use Slido for it!

Is there a way to get notifications whenever a new question is posted? Use case is when Q&A is being used to collect questions over an extended period of time; not just during a short, one-time event. Thanks!

Hi, I have been invited as co-host to a Slido event, which now I can access form the link provided in the invitation. However, when I launch the presentation linked to it, it still says I am not allowed to access Slido even if I am logged in with the right user.What could be the problem?Thanks in advance

Hi there,Is it be possible to rename the Audience Q&A Panel? Instead of a running list of audience questions, I would like it to be a running list of recognition items. Is this possible, and if so, how?  

I have the Engage plan and started testing my slido this morning May 12 with sample responses and my event is the evening of May 19. Am I within the 1-week limit, or will my plan expire in the middle of my event next Monday? Help please!

Hi, I’m on the Professional Plan and need to use the Segmentation feature for an event. I don’t see it in my settings. Can you please enable or advise? I’ve already paid.

We are doing an intergenerational event and most children will not have phones. Is there a way to allow participants to vote more than once, so that children may vote on their parent’s phone?

Slido presents itself as a platform for safe, inclusive audience engagement — a place where anyone can ask questions without fear or interruption. In theory, this is commendable. In practice, however, I’ve found this promise to be an illusion.At a recent New Scientist event, more than 200 questions were submitted through Slido. Yet during the Q&A, only a handful were selected — and not by the speakers or audience, but by a moderator who filtered them through their own lens. This introduces a disturbing form of gatekeeping: valid questions may be dismissed for being too challenging, off-narrative, or simply misunderstood by the moderator.This raises troubling questions: Who decides what gets asked? On what criteria? What are we losing when questions are pre-screened rather than asked live? This isn’t just about a single event — it's about a cultural shift. What happened to courage, audience participation, and good old-fashioned debate? When tech intermediates dialogue, do we ris

Concerned as to whether our Chinese delegates will be able to access. They will be in Australia at the time of the event  

I just paid for event pricing. How does timing work, as my event is a week away? It is from the time of payment, or can I lock it in for dates of interest?

I’m putting together a presentation that requires a presenter view, and I’m trying to figure out a workaround given that Slido presentation mode doesn’t allow for that view.  I put links on the Google Slides but they aren’t working when I’m in Slido Presenter mode.  Is this because I don’t have the Chrome enhancement to allow for GIFs and animations or there another issue?  

I've updated the Slido app and walked through all the steps and it seems like it’s installed the update, but when I re-open Powerpoint Slido keeps referencing that I need to update Slido. My internal IT says it’s not an issue on their side as it’s allowing me to update essentially without being blocked by IT admin rights. Please help!

Is it possible to remove the “Congratulations!” slide that appears after I show the results of a quiz?

Where can I download the latest MSI installer ? NOT THE EXE

Hi all, we use templates to create polls and quizzes for webinars. I just logged in after some time and cant find them anymore. Where are they? Thanks so much! 

Hi, we were looking to do a superuser session on poll templates but I can’t find them on the new interface and nothing about them in the help desk regarding new Slido. Is this a feature that has disappeared?

Where does one find the templates in the new Slido interface?
