Asynchronous polls + PowerPoint integration

Hi Slido Community,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m reaching out as I need your support with an urgent setup. I’m trying to achieve the following:

  • Have four poll questions active simultaneously, allowing for asynchronous response collection (participants can answer them in advance or at their own pace)

  • Then, during the session, be able to present the results of each poll within a PowerPoint presentation using the Slido integration

  • Importantly, I need to interleave the results with explanatory slides (i.e., show results of Poll 1 → present an explanation slide → show results of Poll 2 → present another explanation slide, and so on)

I’ve explored several alternatives, but none has fully met the requirement:

  1. Using Surveys

    • While this allows collecting responses in advance, the results are displayed sequentially within the survey, which doesn’t allow me to interleave explanatory slides between individual question results.

  2. Using multiple rooms within the same Slido

    • This limits my ability to consolidate and present results from different rooms within a single presentation.

  3. Using multiple Slido events

    • This creates the same limitation as above when trying to present results in one unified PowerPoint.

Given this, I would really appreciate your guidance on:

👉 How to keep multiple polls open simultaneously for asynchronous responses, and
👉 How to present each poll’s results individually within PowerPoint (via Slido integration), allowing me to control the flow and interleave content slides between results.

If there’s a recommended setup or workaround to achieve this, I’d be very grateful for your help.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi ​@Wilfredo!

With what you want to achieve, you may want to opt out of using the PowerPoint integration.

To gather asynchronous responses, you can share the direct link to those polls or surveys in advance if that would be helpful. Polls do not have to be active to answer if you share the direct link.

And to present, you may want to share your slido results from the present mode and use alt tab to go between Slido and your slides.

Hope this helps!
