Hi,participants will have the option to drop their questions during the present event via Q&A. There will be different time slots to do so related to different points in the agenda. To keep that organized I was wondering if it is possible to have several (up to 4 or 5) Q&A. Once the first is over I would close it and open the next one.I hope you can help me.Thank you very much.Sofia

Hi All!I have a little pickle. I once participated in a slido open text poll, where people could submit questions, and after the poll ended, organizers turned on voting. Then people could vote on the questions they want answered by the organizers. How can I do that?

Hello everybody Yes, I’m aware of this; Unfortunately it did not provide solution for me. I have Slido-item with seven (7) question and those need to be presented via company called Microsoft product of PowerPoint.My challenge lie that I cannot get all those seven questions to be presented as one view (when using Microsoft PowerPoint to work as platform for Slido), screen can provide only six (6) question. Any idea?

Hi - I have a number of ongoing surveys but they look to run only for a maximum of 12 months. Does anyone know if/how they can be extended, or even made permanent? many thanks!

Can anyone offer clarification here in terms of who (host, co-host, presenter) can launch polls within a WebEx? I remember reading at some point that only certain roles can launch polls or that co-hosts must request permission, but I cannot find that article anymore and I am trying to train some new facilitators. Let me give an example: We had a host start our WebEx and launch our first poll (which is a poll for which I shared access with her). Later in the morning, I wanted to share a poll (I was a co-host at that point) but could not access my list of polls from my account - my assumption is that Slido was still running under HER account. If so, can she “logout” of Slido while remaining host of the WebEx meeting and, if so, will I then be able to pull up Slido as the co-host? Don’t know if this question makes sense, but I’ll see if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks,Eric

How can I use Slido for a single event? When does the slido start? My event is going to last three days – can I use a single slido for that? Is a single slido identified by its code?

Hi there,, Is there a possibility to visualize quiz results as numbers instead of percentages. Is it possible to obtain an average automatically calculated? In the example below the total is 2+3+4 = 9 Average is 3 (3 votes so 9/3 = 3) 

I want to use 5 slido polls ahead of an event to help shape the agenda. How can I have all the polls open at same time for a few days to allow participants time to complete?

Can a survey participant respond to a poll multiple times, using a different name each time?I’d like to run a poll with a group of participants who each represent about 5 different businesses, so want them to respond five times each, recognising a different name for against response.

Can anyone confirm how many users can use Slido Live at the same time?  i.e. if you have 2 different events on and both parties want to use it either at the same time of over the course of the same day?  I know the polls etc can be kept live for however long is necessary without any interference from other polls live for other events. But I’m unsure about Live Events.  

Is there a way to separate poll results by a previous question or demographics? For example, can we ask for participants to select their gender in the first question and then sort the remaining answers by gender?Thanks

Hello, I have purchased one-time licence for my presentation quiz. Unfortunately there is limitation from 12 to 18 sep 2023. I will have townhall on 19th sep. Any advise? thank you, Mirek

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? 

Hello, I am trying to invite someone (external to my organization) to moderate a Slido Q&A session but when the person tries to access the link sent to him via email, it is asking him to login with Webex. Yet, this person does not have a Webex.Anything I can do to resolve this issue?Thank you.

Hi there, Is it possible to for moderator to answer question without showing it live? but the participant who asked the question is able to view the reply.  

Hey CommunityIs it possible to turn off the auto-logout so that students in a continues, weekly poll dont have to login again everytime?  

Can I use Slido in PowerPoint of parallels in Mac ? 

Hi,I’m creating polls in Arabic. When doing so I can right click on the text field, select writing direction and change it to ‘right to left’ as this is what I require. There is a ‘default option’ but it is blanked out. I have ‘Arabic’ selected in the Poll/ Survey language settings. My issue is that for each text entry I have to right click and do as I have described above. This is very slow and cumbersome. Is there a way to select the writing direction default for all text fields in a survey where Arabic is the language or is there another workaround? Thanks,Daithi

I am trying to set up a public screen in our university’s foyer to display live results of a survey. Since I am not presenting by manually advancing through the survey slides, I need to find a way that the presentation moves on automatically. Using Slido’s Google Slides integration, I can autoplay slides, but since the survey is contained in a single slide, Google’s autoplay controls don’t work. The Slido player seems to have no autoplay function, just manual advance by clicking. Any way to solve this issue? Thanks so much!

Hi - I am trying out the free version in my college class, and after 1 day it went great! However, I am now creating a new slide deck for day 2, and cannot make anymore interactions because I have already used 3. Is there a way to do this as a new slido? This is an amazing educational tool but I am now worried I won’t be able to use it for free, and can’t pay for it on my own. Note I have 76 students. Thank you!

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 shared 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?

Hi!I am an Instructional Designer, so I make presentations others will use. When I share the presentation, the Slido slides are not interactive. How do I make it so any facilitator in my company can present the content? Thank you!

Hi everyone!Is it possible to perform any customizations to the content displayed on the presentation slide used in Slido? For example, we’d like to use a passcode to restrict access during our meeting from non-voting members, but when we enable passcode as a security feature, it’s also displayed on the presentation slide. Thanks! Chris

We’ll be hosting several “AMA” drop-in sessions for a large number of attendees to ask questions relating to a large change initiative.  The attendees at each of the 4 sessions may or may not be the same. We’d like to only have one unique slido Q&A and passcode to be used for all 4 sessions with the ability to easily mark a question as answered during session 1, then reopen it to be available for upvoting / recall at the next session.  It would also be beneficial to identify the questions that were asked during each session.  Is this possible?
