I am a guest on an upcoming slido. I will be presenting one of many sessions.I'm trying to add two Live Q&As to a google slide deck and collect responses. Can I do so via a QR code?  It seems that I only have "poll" and "survey" permissions as a guest. Do I need to be invited with a different access level to create a "question" to collect responses and create the Q&A sessions?If I cannot do via QR code, I could utilize a Slido integration for Google Slides. However, I am working on a Mac computer and do not have powerpoint installed, however the presentation computer utilized for the event is a Microsoft / Powerpoint. Thank you for your guidance! All the best,Jess

Using Slido in Power Point I need to allow each participant to be able to enter the same word multiple times but it only seems to allow one word per participant. How do I do that? 

We are having a large team meeting where we are having people go into breakout rooms to brainstorm and discuss several ideas. But because we have 4 different questions and each breakout room will go at a difference pace, we need all 4 ideas topic open at once. Then we will come back as a group to discuss. How can we open multiple ideas topic at once and have people answer at their own pace? 

Hello all,Is it possible to create a Slido survey that will branch off into different questions based on the previous answer? Example:What color is your Car?If they select RED, they get a certain group of questions (#s 2, 3, 4, and 5)If they select BLUE, they get a different group of questions (#s 6, 7, 8).  Thank you.

Hi,  I created a poll for a teams meeting, but when I launch the poll, the attendees can vote but the host of the meeting and I can’t? How do I enable that the host and and I can vote? Thanks,

How can I allow participants to submit questions during a Powerpoint presentation without the Q&A slide open?

Hi there, for our event, we would like our participants to be able to answer the quiz at any point in time. It won’t be a group of people participating in the quiz at once. Is there any way to disable the live quiz feature and have the quiz be live throughout the event. We want participants to be able to answer all questions in one go instead of having to wait for a moderator to change the question.

I want to run a poll but never share the results on the screen. I selected the option to hide results, but it looks like it’ll still display them upon the admin clicking? Is there a different way to set up a poll so that I can collect feedback but never display the results?

What solution could be provided if multiple people are duplicating and using the slido question at the same time?  Would the person duplicating the question then need to update the Event Code # to a unique #, as i see from a different Q&A it stated this?  - ‘They can duplicate and use the event for themselves (just be sure the same exact Slido is not being used at the same time by multiple people as the polls being activated would interfere with each other).’   What would be the best practice for this situation when multiple people are using a duplicated slido question at the same time? 

Hi team,I purchased an Engage annual plan a few months back, but I think I’d like to upgrade to the next level. Is there an easy way to do this from my account? I’ve already purchase a year of the Engage level and don’t want to create a new account. What can I do?

I’ve done up a beautiful Googles Slides presentation, however it all falls apart once I go into Present Mode.  Whenever one of my pages features a quiz question in Slido, my beautifully designed Google Slide isn't shown and instead get an ugly generic screen instead. Is there a way to stop this from happening? See my before (with the beautiful parchment background and gold frame) and then the after. 

I am a co-organiser in a Teams event and recorded a session today where the Slido screen didn’t appear in the recording. I also presented a PPT slide deck which showed in the recording fine, however, when switching to Slido via Teams the screen only showed the organisers and attendees in the recording, no Slido. Is it possibly because I am not the host only co-organiser?

I want to set up some polls so that participants answering them cannot see who wrote what answers. But only I, as the admin, can see who wrote what answers - is this possible?

Is there a way that we can track participant names when they enter their answers in polls? Thanks. 

Hello. I want to convert an activity that my learners currently do on flipcharts (in-person) to Slido, but I don’t think it is possible Does anyone have any ideas?I have a flipchart (or physical whiteboard) with  options (m/c) for them to mark how often they do something…. but it has 2 parts so that they see the results of the 2 (similar) questions side by side. We talk about the disconnect based on this. Another use I have is where I (virtual) display a graph (curve) and the participants annotate where they fall along the curve. Can you do this in some way in Slido (so this can be done in person)?Thanks!Daina

Hi. Please I will like to know what plan gives me the option of making the questions asked private.  where not everyone can see the questions asked.  thank you.

Hi there, I just bought the one-time engage event plan but have not yet created an event. Now, if I want to create the slides, Slido asks me to upgrade and to pay again… Where can I start setting up the event that I paid for???My event is tomorrow, so a bit frustrated. Thanks for any help!

I have brought an event plan for £60 but will need to run the polls twice. Will I be able to do that or should I have brought the annual plan?

Hi Community,I want to build a kind of scavenger hunt. Teams of three people will walk around a large garden. At ten different locations they should answer one question. So I don’t want them to just stand somewhere without moving and answer all 10 questions. ;) I wonder how to set this up best. Can I create this within one event and give them QR codes/links/passcodes to each questions or do I have to create ten events each with one poll?Thanks a bunch for a hint!

I am running a 1 hour session with 6 speakers. Each will show  their own 10 minute powerpoint presentation. The presentations will not run as a single slide deck. How can I use the same poll (with different questions from each speaker) for all presenters? This way participants in the audience will not not have to keep scanning different codes.

How can I predefine the suggested list of phrases for the Word Cloud poll type?For example, I want to ask the audience to tell me the names of brands they use to gather logs.And I already provided them a short list of most popular ones like:ElasticSearch, Grafana Loki, StatsD, Datadog, New Relic.So, via the poll I want the audience to not only choose brands that they use now, but also type new brands that are not listed yet.So the “Multiple Choice” poll type doesn’t suit because they can’t add new options there.The “Word Cloud” poll suite more, but I can’t predefine the list of suggested options, so people will type something like “Elastic” + “ElasticSearch” + “Elastic Search” + “Elastic Stack” + “ELK” and we will got a lot of duplicates. So, could you please extend the “Word Cloud” poll configuration to allow adding predefined suggested options, with keeping the ability to add new custom strings?

I want to add some verbiage on the slide that has the QR code for folks to ask questions, but everything I’ve tried does not work.  Is this even possible?

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!
