Community Q&A

I read the article to create a slido, but this option is not available on my home screen. How do I get access to the basic free plan to see if I want to use this? 

Hi,  I would like to run a quiz at our booth at a conference. We would like everyone visiting our booth to scan and sign in to the slido quiz, and answer at their own convenience. Then the number of correct answers and how quick they respond will determine their place on the Slido leaderboard. And we would like to have a live Slido leaderboard on the screen at the booth. Can you please help me figure out how this would be possible? 

Hi there,Two questions,1) How can I make joining with full names mandatory? Does this require a paid for plan? Which one does it start from?2) Is it possible to show a full participant list to attendees?Many thanks,Basil 

Hello,I have the Engage plan which says participants on Slido is in a meeting is limited to 1000. Does this limit also apply to only polls / surveys outside of a meeting? Thanks 

Hi,If i have around 150 participants participating in a quiz. Would there ever be a scenario where there would be a tie for quiz winners? (ie. right answer and same speed to answer) And would there be a way to avoid that?

Originally using the free version of slido, now there is a need to upgrade to engage. If I purchase a one-time plan for engage, can I upgrade the old event directly, or is it limited to a new event? thanks

Can i use Slido with Google Meet ?

I would like a question where participants can divide percentages over a number of given answer options, with a total of 100%. For example, they can indicate how much of the day they are involved in: a sleeping b moving c sitting. It is actually a kind of ranking question, but specified in percentages. Is it true that this is not yet possible in Slido?

Hi when I review my results for a ranking poll there’s a number beside each one, what does that represent please ? numbers like 1.51, 1.31, .82 etc the total adds up to 9.79 which isn’t relevant to anything. There are 11 options in the ranking poll, 73 people participated. Can anyone advise > thanks 

I am trying to run a quiz over several days at a conference and would like to have participants go through it at their own pace. There’s a post from three years ago asking for the same thing - I assume by now this exists but I don’t see any instructions. How can I do this?

I am new to slido. Also I am having trouble integrating slido with powerpoint. So I am trying to see if I can do the entire quiz on slido without integrating it with powerpoint. I am looking for suggestions/ideas to set up a slido quiz to do the following. ThanksSetup a slido quiz with 40 questions organized as 4 rounds (Rounds 1-4) with 10 questions in each round. Intersperse the 4 Quiz rounds with some info/instructional messages (Example: “This brings us to the end of roundXX. The next round is on music. First, you will hear a short sound clip followed by a question related to the sound clip. You will then answer the question using slido”) After each round, I want to display the leaderboard to show the participant rankings in that round. At the end of the 4th round, after the 4th round leaderboard has been presented, I want to present the “Cumulative” leaderboard factoring in all 4 rounds to present the top 3 winners

How can I import questions and answers from Microsoft Word into Slido?

How do you delete/hide the Leaderboard after a quiz round? (It automatically populated and doesn’t have a delete function in the three buttons to the right. 

I am wanting to run a post-slido survey, i am looking to ask around 5 questions. Ideally i would like to be able to send a link that would take the members to a 5 question open response survey. Is this possible and if so what membership would i need for this? Thanks in advance.

I purchased the one-time plan, I have about 40 questions to input, I have input 10 of them and it blocks me from putting in any more because it says I have exceeded the limit of I think it said 275 characters.   Am I limited to a total of 275 characters in all my questions? That would kill the usability of the plan and I don't see that as having been disclosed in the pricing, though it may be in the fine print.  Can I increase the number of characters?

Hello, can I change the question timer on a quiz from 20 seconds to 45? I couldn’t find the setting for this.

Hello, Are we able to share login credentials so multiple people can run Slido at multiple meetings? Is this possible or is it a single access point? Thanks 

I have a long quiz. If I show the leaderboard every 3rd question and one at the end. Does each one build on the others so they are accurate results through to the end?

Hi there, I am using Slido on my Macbook with Powerpoint for Mac and the Slido integration. When I do a multiple choice question and I select a correct answer in the question settings, the correct answer is immediately shown in the live poll (when I show the results “on click”). I would like to show the results of the audience first, without directly showing the correct answer. Actually I would to click again to show the answer. Is there a way to do this? Alternatively, can you create a button like “show correct answer on click”? Thanks, Tim

Hi, i want to ask around 10 questions (ranking 1-5) and at the end present all the results in the same page. Is this possible?

When I share the present mode as a host, instead of staying on the screen where it just shows the QR code (and give people time to join and setup), it immediately jumps into the first poll question with the QR code on the left side. How do I stop it from doing that?

Help needed please!I am currently using the basic plan and have a Slido poll in my PowerPoint presentation, which will be running at four events simultaneously. If there is one login, how do I ensure each presenter can get responses for their audience at their own event? Or do I need a different plan, such as Engage? Thanks.

Hi,I like to use Canva for my presentations. And I’d like to include a Slido question that creates a word cloud in the presentation.Does Slido integrate with Canva?If so, what license is required?Grateful for the help - thanks!

I have a list of 25 questions in a poll and somehow the position of the first two questions has changed.  I have tried to click and slide the question, with no success.  Is this option not available on the Basic plan.  I suspect it is, since the first two questions have swapped positions, but I don’t know how to fix it

How do I export the list of questions I have created in a slido without answers? Ie. I have built a slido with 30 poll questions using multiple choice, rating questions etc. and I want to export the list of questions without any answers so I can use the questions in other materials. I need to share the questions with the leader to confirm they are happy with them before I host the focus groups.
