Community Q&A

Can a slido initiator go to participant mode using a mobile phone? I notice there is an option to do this via the desktop vesion of Slido, but I cannot find this option on my mobile phone.

Event QUIZ - How do I remove the 'Lock Voting' and ‘reveal answer’ in a Quiz. I want participants to complete this in their own time at an event.

Is it possible (or could it be) to randomly select a winner from all participants that chose the correct answer in a multiple choice interaction? 

We have an environment where instructors build out their Powerpoint presentations including Slido questions and polls.  They then go to various classrooms which each have a pre-configured MacOS device using a generic account that is configured to auto-login.  Configuration is managed by Jamf.  When they launch Powerpoint, Slido prompts them to log in, which requires multiple steps as they must go through the Log in with Webex workflow.  This is problematic, especially if they are coming in after another session that went right up to the scheduled time, or even over the scheduled time. Is there a way to configure these devices to be logged into the Slido Add-in with a generic account that is either shared between all rooms or individual for each room? Is there a way to have this login happen programmatically, so that if the session cookie expires or any other timeout is reached, it can be logged back in either by recurring Jamf policy or a Self Service+ triggered policy?

Hi, just wondering if I can have both email and name recorded for individual poll or survey? I am currently on a free account and can only see the option to record name. If a participant choose to be anonymous, is there any chance Slido assigns an ID for all users so I will be able to map the responses when exporting the results (with a paid account)?e.g. Participant A answers X for poll question #1, skips question #2 and answers X for question #3, even though the answers are kept anonymous, I can still see the responses that are provided by the same participant.  Thanks.

Are you able to change the default grey bars and correct-answer green in any of the Slido plans?

We have a poll as an interactive feature on our team internal website. We’d like to disable to Q&A feature when displaying this - as the Q&A is not something that would be actively monitored. How can we do this? Also - is it possible to disable access to the menu for participants? We’d like to avoid them going down a rabbit hole - when what we’d really like is for them to participate in a standing poll. 

Keď upravím nastavenie v prebiehajúcom Slido kvíze, zmení sa QR kód? When I edit a setting in an ongoing Slido quiz, will the QR code change?

We’ve helped many shopping malls sync Slido on-site poll data with people counting statistics from FOORIR, you can check our retail case study for combined data management: https://www.foorir.com/case-studyIt effectively matches questionnaire feedback with real visitor volume for offline store operation.

I’m wondering if there is a way to integrate Slido into Keynote?

Hi,Two questions:Can you ask a question and in real time see responses by attendee persona? For example, if you’re having an event with 2 customer types -- let’s call them apples and oranges -- can you view results as they come in a color coded way or tagged in some way to see how apples respond and how oranges respond? I’d like to ask this question: You have $100 to spread across 5 topics. How would you spread the money? What type of question format would I choose to do this, if Slido can do this at all? It’s more than pure prioritization.

Our questions were set to anonymous but I need to identify who raised one - how can I do this?

Hi I'm one of the organizers of Watch Party Around India 2026, a volunteer-led initiative bringing together Apple developer communities across India for WWDC.This year, we're expecting around 600+ attendees across 10 cities, and we're looking for a platform to run a live quiz simultaneously across all locations.We're a community-run, non-profit event, so budget is extremely limited. Before we explore building our own solution, I wanted to check if Slido offers any community, open-source, or non-profit event sponsorships/licenses for initiatives like ours.Would love to connect with the right person from the Slido team if such opportunities exist.Event: https://watchpartyaroundindia.com/Thank you! 🙏Nayyan MujadiyaSwift Bengaluru / Watch Party Around India

If I purchase a professional edition and begin using it before the Engage one-time plan expires, is my subscription updated, implying that Engage has been upgraded to professional, or do I have two subscriptions, Engage and professional?

Are Slido questions truly anonymous if they post anonymously? We have someone who keeps asking odd questions and would like to address them one to one.

Hello! I need to assign a co-host to more than one slido for an event. But each time I add them to one slido, they lose access to the other one. Can anyone help?

Hello, my current plan is Engage and I would like to cancel my subscription. Could you please help me with this? Thank you!

Dear Slido Team,  I would like to cancel my ENGAGE subscription (valid until June 4, 2026). Thank you in advance!     Best regards!

If we designate someone as a co-host in our session, they will have access to our Slido (they can launch it in their own session). How long will the co-host have access to that Slido? Does it expire after a certain period, or do they retain access indefinitely? All of our instructors need access to our pre-made polls. We can no longer upload polls, so how can I make the poll once and share it with all other instructors (non-admin) who do not have access to organizational slides? 

Hello:  First time Slide user here.  I’m trying to send out via email the Slido poll to accumulate preliminary results...AND, then do a Live presentation for those attending the event.  When I just tried to send myself the link, I could only get one question to show.  Or, it gave me the message, “there are no live events.”   

Hi there, I noticed you are scrapping Slido Switcher, so I have a question regarding the integrated Powerpoint for Slido, which I’ve not really used.I have a Mac and prepare all slides using the Powerpoint app. I have the Slido integration for that, so I’m happy to prepare slides that way.However, before our events, we are often advised to send the slides to the venue, and run the slides using the venue’s laptop (usually a PC). My question is, will Slido work for me, using the integration on a new device, having prepared slides as above. Do I need to download the integration tool on the venue’s Powerpoint app for it to work {which I often cannot do, as there’s IT admins involved in downloading new things to a laptop and the laptop will not belong to me)?Thanks,

what level of detail is available with a paid tier.   I can get a list of individual responses to a ranking poll?

I cloned a meeting from 2025 and now the Welcome message for the meeting is showing last year’s details and not the details that I updated in the settings. Please help, my meeting is today and I don’t want to confuse our guests

Can I use the same QR code for different poll, quiz, and survey during our two days event?

Seems like the slido is allowing for only up to 7 days for a slido, suppose an Enterprise license should allow for more.
