Best Practices & Discussions

I plan to use Slido in a live meeting session that will include display of various Slido elements and outcomes. Some will be included in powerpoint, while others will be impromptu. What are some of the tips and tricks for new Slido administrators to use to ensure a smooth meeting experience between live presentation content, Slido elements and displaying results to that same live audience? Do you use multiple computers or displays? How do you ensure projection of intended Slido information and not administrative content / screens? Assume that the projected Slido content will come from a laptop hooked up to projection via HDMI. I’m concerned that when the admin selects ‘present’, the screen control changes on the host laptop so administration functions are no longer available. I’m concerned about ‘administration’ and ‘presentation’ from a single laptop isn’t clean as I don’t want the audience to see administration items and content.

I am attempting to configure participant SSO via Okta. I already have Member SSO in place however, the documentation is suggesting that in order for participants to log in and ask questions they must use the separate integration.  There is no pre-built Okta integration for Participants so I’d like to know what I need to enter for the following:  Single sign-on URL  Audience URI (SP Entity ID) Secondary to the above question, is there an option to leverage the existing IDP connection used for Members to allow participant login?

Hi everyone,Is there an easy way to reset my poll responses or results? I’d like to test my slido out to make sure I understand what I’m doing, but I want to know that I can start fresh again. I’m worried that I’ll have my testing responses there and won’t be able to remove them.  Is this possible?

Hi, is it possible to link the next question with the answer given to the previous one?

Please list 3 red vegetables. I hope that makes sense. Thanks,Magda

Please can someone help by giving instructions on how you can transfer current events from one Slido account to another? My company has recently purchased a new professional account with Slido whilst we had a shared account with another department that had deferred back to a basic account and I want to avoid having to create the events again in the new account. Is this something that can be done?

Use Slido to help your team brainstorm their strategy, identify projects for the next quarter, or crowdsource the agenda for an upcoming event or conference. You can even allow them to submit their ideas or suggestions into Slido in advance.

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?

This date already extended but I need to keep extending it since I don't have end date for those meetings.My questions are:Can I extend the slido to additional year even if its already being extended in the past? If I will extend it, is it going to impact the analytics report ? Am I going to lose some historical data? Is there  an option not to define due date for the event?Thanks,Keren

Hey Community,How do you deal with silence when you’re facilitating meetings? Do you talk over it, ask others to speak, or just pray for it to be over? 👀We’ve found that people often ask us to add music to polls because of this exact reason.
