Hello!I am a law professor and have thoroughly enjoyed using Slido in my class this year.  It think it has elevated engagement and participation.  Routinely, I have given students a portion of a court case and then asked them to summarize it in an open text poll.  Because I cannot insert a lot of information into the poll itself, I have had to manage some work arounds.  For example, I have simply printed off the case and given the instruction “Please summarize X.” on the poll.  I have also put the text on the preceding PowerPoint slide and then activated the poll on my phone.  I was wondering if there were a simpler way to do this that I was ignorant of.  In my preferred world, I would like to have an informational slide that activates the poll (without using my phone).  Then, I could click to the next slide for results.Thank you in advance for any thoughts or tips! 

Hi, I want to use a team assessment that rates responses - 1 = Rarely, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Usually.  There are 15 statements responses are analysed by groups i.e 4, 6, 12. Total…….1, 7, 10  Total…...3,8,13.   Total…….Is there a way of presenting totals like this across multiple polls?

I have been assigned as a guest to a Slido by my client so that I can create polls for his event. I have an account on Slido, which was invited by the client. However, whenever I log into Slido, I can briefly see the page of the assigned Slido account, but after 2–3 seconds, I am automatically logged out and redirected to the login page. How can I prevent this? I have tried using both MS Edge and Safari. 

Hi!We’re running an event across 15 locations so I have set up 15 rooms to capture each locations poll data. To set up each location’s ppt presentation, I’m currently selecting the relevant room in Slido and then embedding the polls into the ppt. This enables us to display the results live on the screen for the audience to see.Is this the best way to do this or is there a simpler/smarter/faster way? Thanks! 

Hello all.  I’m new.  How do I change from Presentation Mode to Interactive mode in Slido.  The default is presentation mode.  Trying to send this out to customers.

I’m looking for a way to enable Slido for Webinars but either restrict or control its use in the Meetings space.  It looks like there is a way to prevent participants from initiating a Slido in a meeting but sharing overall has to be disabled in order to do so.  I would like to find a way to only enable Slido for Webinar use or restrict its use in the Meetings space in the same way it is for Webinars where participants cannot initiate Slido.  

Is it possible to have the question rearrange to  be grouped by label but still be able to see all questions in present mode.I would like to group the questions and then summarise them for a moderator but can only filter them which then stops me seeing other questions. There are a few of us labeling at a time so we need to have the see all view.At the moment regardless of the label the list appears in order of getting them so that say a label that said growth is applied to several questions but does not appear one after the other.

Dear all,Can surveys can be created without linking them to an ‘event’? I believe you can, but it’s not clear from the available Q&A.Could you confirm if the following 4 points are possible.create surveys and polls that are not linked to any ‘events’ create surveys that users can complete in their own time, i.e. not in a live SLIDO session create polls that users can complete in their own time, i.e. not in a live SLIDO session create polls where multiple poll questions can be sent to users in their own time, i.e. not in a live SLIDO sessionThanks and kind regards,James

I would like to take pledges (promises to donate in future) during a live event. Is there a Slido question that could take numerical answers and display the growing total during the event? I would also need access to the names of people making each pledge to be able to contact them later.

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?  

We are running a quiz based on Awareness of a subject.Multiple choice quizWe would like a statement to appear after all participants have answered. ExamplesHow many million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year?1 million tons 11 million tons 20 million tons 50 million tonsI would like to show after everyone has answered and the answer is revealed to state:According to the UNEP, at least 11 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans each year. That’s the equivalent of dumping one garbage truck full of plastic into the ocean every minute. Does anyone know how to do this?

First does this matter? If so, how do I remove the old version from my Slido and get the new version show? Help Please.

I have a single event that I anticipate being more than 200 people, but less than 1000 in attendance. Is there any way to do a single event rate for closer to 500 people?

I delivered a session with colleagues yesterday and used Slido. It was great but some of the group were unable to make it, can I send out a link so they can access and answer all questions or does it have to be delivered via presentation? Thanks  

I have several rooms within one slido. Only one of the rooms requires Q&A and i would like to turn it off for the other rooms. When i am in one of the rooms and turn off Q&A it disables it for all rooms. Does anyone know if this is possible?ThanksMike

 I’m getting the following error messages when trying to run the latest installer.  My IT department and I have tried everything we can think of. Any ideas???   

I built a quiz via Slido and integrated it into my PowerPoint presentation. I shared that presentation via Zoom and there was a significant delay (15-20 sec) when advancing slides to the next question. There was normal advancement from the question to the display of how the group answered and then to the correct answer. But when I clicked to advance to the next question there would be the signficant lag. Should I have been doing something differently? Should I have built the slido quiz into Zoom instead of PPT?

I set up a Slido Multiple choice Quiz earlier this year and now I can not find it.How do I access past creations in Slido?

This may have been asked in a different format, but when hosting a quiz, is there a way to NOT show who got a question right or wrong publicly?  I would also not want to show the leaderboard after each question as well.  I’m okay with an end of game leaderboard, but I don’t want other people in the group to see who missed a question during it.

I am using Slido and the organization does not allow computers on their system. Can Slido work from a USB?

Hi,How do I upgrade once to be able to accommodate +1000 participants? I only need this one time next week for an event.Thank you in advance and all the best,Heidi  

Under the multiple choice poll question, can participants type in their response if I include an option for “others”?

In the old interface, it was possible to create a a direct link to a survey. Is it still possible in the new interface? 

Good day, we are using the moderation function with Q n A. Is there any way to hide questions from the audience and still use the moderation for presenters to answer questions? Ie can the audience just see “ ask question “ and not all the questions that are approved for answering.

It would be great to be able to add more functionality into the ranking poll.A few examples:Being able to add weights to the ranking to show there is a lesser or greater distance between item a and item b vs item b and item c. Being able to rank two criteria at once. Would display an x/y scatter plot to show where each item ranks for each criteria. Percentage ranking. Users get n points/percentage to divide across each item until all are used. Another way to easily present importance.Looking into how ranking is calculated (1st = n points, 2nd = n-1 points, … nth = 1 point), it doesn’t seem like it would be terribly difficult implement where these options could be toggled on and users can control the weights of each.
