Is there a way to run the questions of a Quiz in a Random way?

Hi ExpertsI have the following doubts:Can a quiz be run in a random way (order of the questions not always the same)? Can I have a quiz of 20 questions but run it in a way that picks 10 of them randomly when running it?Thanks a lot

How to format text in questions?

I was just wondering if there is a way to format text inside the slido questions.  For example, if I’d like something to appear as bolded and underlined, is there a way to do this?Thanks in advance!

Removing the Option of Anonymity

Hi everyone, I want to remove the option for participants to answer anonymously for a certain Slido event. I understand that I will need to opt for the Professional or Enterprise accounts. Can someone please confirm whether the Professional account ensures the default setting of participants to “Always Require Name” thus only being able to answer by name/identity or does it still provide participants the option to be anonymous?

Voting (thumbs up / down) on questions

Is there a way to turn off the “voting” on questions … where participants give a question a thumbs up or down and that changes then the order of questions showing. We would like a session where moderator has full control over what questions get answered, without regards to number of thumbs up or down. Thanks!

How do you increase the size or change the font of the questions to display?

Is there a way to change the size of the poll question on the display screen and/or fonts, etc?

Is it possible to moderate a word cloud?

Hey Slido Community,I am putting together a training presentation and was hoping to include the word cloud question.I love that they display the answers and as the more popular repeated answers/key words get mentioned they grow in size. However, is there a function that allows us to approve/vet the answers before they appear on the word cloud? Our higher ups voiced concerns about the possibility of people entering whatever they want (disparaging, abusive and or harassing comments)  Thank you.A

Can I disable upvotes?

Is there an option in the settings to disable upvotes? So that I can use the Q&A tool but not give the audience the option to upvote/promote questions?

Who counts as a participant?

Hi all, I’m organizing an event of 2 days with 80 participants each and multiple sessions. Hence, the intention is to buy either the engage or the professional account. However, I am worried about the limitation of participants: what do you mean with it? Given the several sessions we’ll host, these 80+80 participants would access to the Sli.do event multiple times (probably with same device). Log in is not required for accessing to sli.do event’s, so I’m wondering how you count participants.  Thanks for understanding, Best.

Tracking participants by name while they still remain anonymous to other participants

Hi there, I am going to be purchasing the enterprise option and will be setting the anonymity to default - always stay anonymous.Is there a way that the admins (me) could still track who answers polls and Q&As without other attendees seeing this information?  Essentially, we’d like to be able to track a participant’s responses and activities throughout the conference and in pre and post event surveys without any other participants seeing the names.  Thank you

Cannot open Slido joining link from mainland China

Hi team,Previously I have been using Slido to create event questionnaires for our events in mainland. But today, I found that I cannot access the survey from mainland - cannot open the joining link or slido.com from mainland. Is Slido blocked by the firewall? Hope the team can help fix this issue - for example, any China friendly link? Thanks a lot!

How is Slido Better than Teams?

A colleague asked a question that I could not answer.  Maybe some of you who are both Teams Guru and Slido Guru can tell me. How is Slido better to use than Teams or the built-in Teams feature? Apparently you can ask questions anonymously in Teams as well.  Thank you for your insight!!

Red exclamation mark in powerpoint

I have a red exclamation mark appearing in my powerpoint, I have logged into my account which was sucessful and it tells me to open powerpoint but the exclamation mark still appears.  I have uninstalled and re-installed, but still having the same problem.    Slido is enabled, I have checked that.  Is there anything I am missing?

How to display voter names to all voters?

Hi everyone, we’ve just started using slido and I’m struggling to make it work the way our previous poll tool did.We use polls to track our chared computer systems, each person votes on a IP and others can see which user is also using that system and can contact them to prevent data destruction or interference.I’ve gotten slido to display the poll but users cannot see who has voted on which IP.  They just see a number.  I think this works in reports but I can’t generate 50 reports every day for everyone.Is there a way to guarantee users can see other user names and what they voted on?

What plan do I need for users to only vote once?

I am organizing a song contest. The visitors have to choose from 20 participants, 3 that they think are the best. We don't want them to be able to change their choice after voting. They should not be able to vote again, when they refresh the website. And is there a fraud check built in?  Are these options in Slido and which subscription should I have?

Any answers makes the quiz correct

Hi! Is there an option to select multiple correct options in a quiz but choosing any makes the answer correct? I currently just know how to make them all required for the question to be correct. Thank you!

Possible to Vote several times same Voter

Hi, I am testing to set up a vote for a club. I just came across a problem which I haven’t solved yet.I read, that it is not possible to vote twice if-you use the same e-Mail address “in the same browser” (on the same device), but: if you use it on another device, I think, I was able to vote twice with the same e-mail address.  I limited the access to only two e-mail addresses in the Slido Settings, one was mine, one of a colleague. My two mobile phones share Multi-Cards and the access code was sent to both of them to g-mail address. Both seem to share the same g-Mail account. Both received the mail. (while SMS to my knowledge only goes to one of the smartphones.And with that I was able to vote twice, one time on each device. (there are two allowed e-mail addresses in my current Slido, but now 3 counted votes)Now I also tried, to vote again on my PC (Laptop) device on which I also started the Slido Poll. And this vote was not identified as a new one.  Is there a solution for this?

Creating Multiple Events at a time

If I’m holding 5 separate in-person meetings at the same time and moderators want to utilize slido, is it possible to create and run 5 different events, each with unique polls, at the same time?

How does the word cloud select which responses it displays?

How does word cloud select the responses it displays? I know it shows the most common responses as a bigger font but many of the responses only have 1 vote. It doesn't seem to post the most recent responses. Just asking since some responses, which had very different topics, weren't reflected on the main screen. Thanks!

Using Powerpoint without the download

Hi all, first time user and planning to use Slido at a conference in September.I don’t want to use the Slido powerpoint download as it will not be my presenting laptop on the day, and asking uncertain presenters to configure their own presentations would be difficult anyway.So, what is the best way for the presenter to ask a question/poll of the audience? Assume I have pre notification of the question / poll and have entered it in the event list already. Should I just ask the presenter to include the slido url on their slide that takes them to the slido poll?Thanks

Is there a maximum number of responses allowed for a poll?

Is there a maximum number of responses allowed for a poll? (In total, not per user.)  I’m running an event for a large org with over 30,000 users and want to ensure that all poll responses will be captured.

How to reset joined participants analytics?

Is there a way to reset the Joined Participant analytics? We would like to use the same code and url link for multiple dates, but would like to see when each participant logs in. We use SAML SSO for all of our events, and right now, if someone logs into an event, it only shows the first time they log in, even if they log in weeks apart. Another feature that would help us is to see if we can capture when people leave the page, but that is a topic for another time.
