Ideal timing for a poll during a presentation

Howdy. I’m using Slido and loving it. The audience seems to like it too. Tomorrow I’m doing a 90 minute presentation, and I’m using polls/surveys to break up my talking. This serves two purposes: 1. Gives a chance for people to engage; 2. Gives me a second to take a sip of water and mentally get ready for the next section. I’m wondering, in all the experience of members  here, what have you found to be the _ideal_ time to give people a chance to answer the poll. I dont think (but am easily corrected) that really the number of people in the session–be it 4 or 56–has much to do with the timing; everyone can read and answer at roughly the same time.So what is the ideal time to allow as many people to answer the poll as we can get while also keeping the momentum of the talk going? I ask because it seems, using Google Slides, the poll on the screen is the only active one, and you can only have one at a time (unless in a survey), so if you move onto the next slide, people lose their chance t

Using Slido for a team's project

Hi Community! Any chance I could use Slido with our team to reach an agreement? I run a team’s project and we spend a lot of time discussing opinions. I was thinking about using a Yes/No poll. Any tips on how I can pull this off?

Using Slido for smaller meetings

Hi all! Do you use Slido in smaller meetings? If so, how? I’m looking for inspiration. Slido works great at our all hands and town hall meetings, but we haven't found that much use for it in a smaller setup yet.

Do you do any followups on the answered questions from the meeting?

What do you do with unanswered questions? In the big meetings, we’ve started getting a lot of questions which we don’t manage to answer in the meeting but we don’t want them to go in vain. Do you have any tips?
