Hello everyone,I encountered some issues in a recent all-hands meeting. I created a multiple-choice poll on the Slido website and incorporated the slide into the PowerPoint file using the Slido plug-in. However, during the presentation, the main Slido slide displaying the question appeared initially, but upon advancing, it jumped to the next slide and not the one where it shows the live results, QR code / login details, etc. I suspect this might be related to the fact that I am not sharing my screen but rather uploading the PPT file. Can anyone provide insights into why this might be happening and if this is a workaround? 

Hi!  I have one event and two questions.  I’m looking for two different QR codes (They take you to each respective question).  We have a group of people but we want half to answer one poll and the other half to answer another poll within the same event.  However, the QR codes are not based off of the poll question but based off the event.  Is there a way to create different QR codes based off the poll question?  Thanks!

How far in advance can you set up a slido to have a valid code?

Hello,If I receive 100 responses to a poll and the limit is 100 responses, but other people click on the poll link and try to respond, what screen do they see? Will they still get to see the responses chart that shows how everyone else answered? This is what I want to happen.Thanks

May i know whether we can customize the quiz display feature in the Slido? Please refer to the attached photo. 

Is it possible to allow participants to fill out the same survey mutliple times using the same event code/url?Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if I could input a feature request. A big fan of Slido myself, I only see one real flaw in the current process, and that’s the lack of a Presenter Board. The issue I have is that a lot of the times we have a team of people in the Moderation menu selecting the questions to be sent to the presenter to ask and there is not real way to send them over to the Q&A Moderator on stage without using external means. Right now we’re using live word doc, but it’s a bit cumbersome and not very fluid. Vevox has a function called “Approve for Presenter” so that the questions that are approved by the team get sent to the presenter view and are visible on presenter link only, but not to the rest of the attendees. This is really useful because it allows for more seamless communication between back of house team and presenters on stage. Presenters just get one simple link and they only see approved questions in a clean and simple way that makes it easy for them as well. And this st

Hi i am running team day but using a master slide deck. different people are compiling different agenda sections and then sending back to me to consolidate into the main one. however when doing this their slidos dont then work when in presentation mode? the only way i can see is if you switch session, but doing this brings up a warning saying ‘All polling slides you created will be removed from this presentation’ so fear i add one in but delete the rest. is there a way to keep in one presentation multiple created slidos? i have a paid account so can have unlimited polls. thanks 

I am creating a ranking SLIDO where I am asking the participants to rank the top 3 (out of 7) options they would choose. I see how I can export the results for one user, but is there a way to export all user results in one file?

Our client would like to hide the screen that shows the names of Quiz participants as they join, so it’s totally anonymous and nobody knows the number of participants.Have searched and can’t find an option to disable this screen. Has anyone also had to do this?

Hi all! First of all, let me introduce myself: I’m Jacob, a Slido CSM based in Mexico City. 👋I’ve been asking my clients this question and I’ve gotten some pretty amazing answers so far: what is the most amazing scenario you can imagine for your organization + Slido in 2024?One client responded that they hope that Slido becomes a key and equal partner in their key HR strategy. For them, the most amazing scenario involves Slido being used regularly at team retrospectives and regular, small meetings to support discussion and improve communication. Another client had a very different idea: GIF submissions in the Word Cloud poll! For them, being able to submit GIFs would be a fun and very engaging way of expressing opinions and moods in the Word Cloud. If a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe a GIF is worth a million?Anyway, back to you, Slido champions! What’s the most amazing scenario you can imagine for your organization + Slido in 2024?

Hi there!! Was wondering here if there's any possibility to move to a different slide depending on the replies received in a pool. For instance, if I throw a pool with option A or Option B, and more people option A, then I can go to the next slide, but if more people are to chose option B, then I can jump to a further slide. 

Before polling, can we ask to the people from which continent they are coming so we can track that, or that has to be done by a polling question?

Hi! I want to run a unique quiz during the morning, but integrate the questions within various powerpoints of the various people speaking during the morning. Is this possible? And how would I implement this?Thanks in advance, Spadom 2023

Hello,Our company is planning to use Slido for user events and gift rewards.I understand that we can set up user actual names and emails by upgrading our license. However, I have a question: What if a user enters their name and email randomly? Is there any way to prevent the audience from using fake names and emails?If we can't ensure the accuracy of the provided names and emails, won't it be challenging to identify and reward the actual audience? Even if we implement a verification process for names and emails, we may still face difficulties in reaching out to the real audience.Please let us know if you have any solutions. Thank you.

Hi there, is there any possibility to reset the results from all polls I have in one survey? As I am using many on them in my trainings, it would be much easier - every minute saved is good :-) cheers, astrid

Hello,can Slido automatically delete inappropriate/dirty words in “World cloud”? We will be using Czech and Slovak languages. Or is there any way to control this?Thank you.

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 check the the following re adding team members please?I can add a team member with ANY email address i.e. not from same organisation? Is there a limit on the number of people I can add? Is there a limit on the number of activation ‘switches’ I can do? Does each team member triggered ‘event’ generate separate data? I saw that ‘they can’t see other’s data’ so assuming this is the case Is there an API that allows me to programatically add/activate/monitor number events team members have run?

We have created a poll on slido for WebEx and two anonymous users responded with the following problem:using this slido poll https://app.sli.do/event/7QDPe2Z765MxyyQ8wdYYPJ after submitting the poll, an error occurred and submit failed. the user could not proceed and saw in one form field (e.g. 17/41) the answers from other anonymous users in image below, only the red frame was the response from the user. the rest was not his/her content!! two users reported that problem on the same day (27.10.2023 between 0800-1200 CET)That does not sound right and is a vulnerability/privacy concern. Please help us understand what caused such a malfunction and is this a known limitation of slido?ThanksChristian 

It seems that participants when answering a multiple choice poll that I created containing multiple questions, are seeing all of the questions from the poll at the same time. Would you know if there is a setting in Slido that I could use, so that when running a multiple choice poll containing multiple questions, participants could only see one question at a time, before moving on to the next question? Thanks for your reply. 

In a quiz (not poll) I have some questions that I need to hide the answer from participants. How is this done please?

Hello,Sometimes when a respondent types multiple words in their response for a word cloud, each word comes in it’s own box.  For example: “The sky is blue” comes through as “the” in one box, “sky” in another box, “is” in another box, and “blue” in another box.  So then instead of one box that says “the sky is blue” we have 4 boxes that doesn’t make sense.  This only happens some of the time, which is confusing to me. Most of the time responses come with multiple words (as in a sentence) in one box.   Can anyone shed some guidance on this?Thank you!

I added the slido live poll feature to my site with iframe embed. I send the user name to the slido screen using the user_name parameter. But whatever name I sent first remains. So slido saves this name in the cache. How do I solve this?
