Activating Slidos in Multiple Rooms

Hi ​@LMA edu—

Great question, this comes up a lot with multi-track events.

At the moment, there isn’t a way to “activate” all polls across multiple rooms or sessions at once. Each room works independently, and within each room you can only have one poll active at a time.

That said, since you mentioned you’re running presentations, there’s a helpful workaround:

If you’re using PowerPoint or Google Slides, you can use our Slido integrations to control polls directly from the presentation. As the presenter moves through their slides and reaches a Slido slide, the poll will automatically go live, no need for someone to manually activate it in the admin.

This is usually the best setup for parallel sessions, since each speaker/room can run their own polls seamlessly without extra coordination.

You can check out how it works here:

• Slido for PowerPoint 
• Slido for Google Slides

Hope that helps! 

All the best,

This is helpful!

we are using the powerpoint integration and i tested the polls and they seem to be working! 

Is this automatic opening of polls within the ppt integration as the presenter clicks into the slide new? A previous colleague who ran this had mentioned to someone that after every time block, she would have to go into the slido website and activate the next group of rooms / polls. 

Hi ​@LMA edu 

When presenting in Power Point, you can simply progress through your slides, either by clicking the arrow key button or using a PC mouse. Slido polls will automatically activate as you progress through your slides. The results will update in real time on your slide and on participant devices.

Here’s our helpful guide on how to use Slido live with Power Point. 

I hope that helps! 

All the best,
