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!

How to prevent quiz questions end early? I tested with a few users. The timer is 30 seconds. But once one user sent the answer, the quiz ends for everyone.

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?

Dear community, The slides are blurry when using "Present with Slido" in Google Slides on Safari.This does not impact slides generated by slido. Thus, I suppose the problem is not connected to Safari browser. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thank you 🙏

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!

Hello, I’m new to Slido and considering intergrating it into PowerPoint to make a 90 minute speaking spot I’m delivering at an upcoming conference more interactive. First question -  can I run Slido solo and continue chatting to my audience of around 130 people?  Second question - is it correct I need two laptops to do so, one to connect my laptop with the presentation the audience will see and a second to run Slido. Third question - do you need two laptops if delivering a similar presentation online via Zoom. Many thanks 

I can’t seem to find info anywhere, but i’m seeing another slido event with another person’s organization listed. I know the person and may have invited them to collaborate at one point, but they are not listed as a team member and I’m not sure why they appear on my list. I cannot delete the Slido as it says i don’t have permission, not can i change settings on the event. Any thoughts as to what this is?

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

I would like to look the results up by the dates they were submitted, is this possible?  I want to look at results on a specific date, but I can only see the end result.  Is it possible to learn what the data was during the polling?

Hello,Im running a conference that is happening over 6 days with panel discussions happening back to back.Will a single event license be able to cover these requirements?There will be 18 different panels, none of which are happening concurrently.Do advise?Thanks.

Hi, we are considering purchasing Slido for our Consulting firm to run polls for our clients.   If we (the consulting firm) create a poll using our Slido account and provide our client with “guest” access, will the client be able to launch a Slido poll we created (on their PC) in PowerPoint?
