Community Q&A

Hey,Is there any way to not have a timer in a Slido quiz? Or is it just built that way? I’d like to not have any time limit, but the time always runs out. I want people to have as much time as they want. Is this possible at all?

Hi guys, We are creating a multiple choice poll. After showing the poll question and collecting audience’s votes, how can we add an additional section to show more info/explanation of the correct answer?  For example:Q: What’s the new minimum wage of Australia?Options: A. $23 B. $25 C. $24Audience votes and then we reveal that the correct answer is C. $24Then we want to display more info: The new minimum wage has been updated since July 1st. It’s important to make sure that you are underpaid. 

Hi, is it possible to copy and paste the possible answers to a multiple choice poll from an Excel sheet into Slido?

Hello, I would just like to get clarity on my situation. I am currently using the free plan, and invited others to do so, too, as a way to engage participants. They have already created their own slidos using their accounts, and I only requested access for me to help manage them. My question is, if I purchase Engage plan, will I be able to export data from their slidos? Thank you!

We are running a contest where participants will judge 10 entries based on 4 consistent criteria.  I’ve set this up as 10 x survey polls each with 4 questions that ask for a 0-5 ranking.  At the end of the process I would like to add up the scores for each team (survey) and display on a single results screen bar chart or similar with a bar representing each teams score out of 20.  Unfortunately I haven’t managed to find how to do this through the help guides etc so am hoping someone might be able to help please.  Thank you. 

Hello,I have a PowerPoint presentation to make which is currently saved on a sharepoint site.How can I integrate Slido into a presentation saved online?I was able to add polls by downloading the ppt and using the app integration. Can I do the same with an online presentation?Any help would be appreciated. 

This would be very helpful. Am I missing a way to do that? 

This is my first time using Slido..I’m super excited. I entered my 8 poll questions and then wanted to integrate them into our presentation. We will be using a Teams platform for our event, but we have a PowerPoint presentation to intersperse between the questions...how do I do that?

Hello,I am setting up a quiz, where I would like participants to submit their answers to different questions, but only show the correct answers for all questions after the very last one.How can I set that up?Thanks.Best,Chiara

Dear All, I have been using Slido for few years without any issue. Recently I am facing a problem launching Slido from PowerPoint, Slido is not launching till the Norton Antivirus Firewall is disabled which is risky especially when conducting a full day training workshop, please advise in this regard.  

I had a question that was choose the best 5 out of 10 items listed. I was testing out whether it would be better to rate each item instead of multiple choice. When I did that it deleted all of the items under my question and now I can’t get them back!?! We had worked so hard to get the 10 indicators and can’t believe I lost that work. Please tell me there’s a rescue button?  

AhaSlides has a feature where the audience can react to the presentation slides using emojis. The emojis will appear and "float" upwards on the screen similar to a live event on social media. Question: is this feature available in Slido?

Hi there - I’m wondering if it’s possible to run a trivia game over multiple days using the ‘quiz’ function with the leaderboard. Here’s the scenario, we are having our upcoming Sales All Hands and it’s a 4 day event. I’d like to sprinkle trivia questions throughout the 4 day presentation that ask questions about what’s being shared. Hopefully this improves engagement and motivates people to pay attention. On the last day we would present the final question and the top 3 winners on the leader board win a prize. Is this possible? Anything special I need to do? 

I am a guest on an upcoming slido. I will be presenting one of many sessions.I'm trying to add two Live Q&As to a google slide deck and collect responses. Can I do so via a QR code?  It seems that I only have "poll" and "survey" permissions as a guest. Do I need to be invited with a different access level to create a "question" to collect responses and create the Q&A sessions?If I cannot do via QR code, I could utilize a Slido integration for Google Slides. However, I am working on a Mac computer and do not have powerpoint installed, however the presentation computer utilized for the event is a Microsoft / Powerpoint. Thank you for your guidance! All the best,Jess

Hello all,Is it possible to create a Slido survey that will branch off into different questions based on the previous answer? Example:What color is your Car?If they select RED, they get a certain group of questions (#s 2, 3, 4, and 5)If they select BLUE, they get a different group of questions (#s 6, 7, 8).  Thank you.

I want to run a poll but never share the results on the screen. I selected the option to hide results, but it looks like it’ll still display them upon the admin clicking? Is there a different way to set up a poll so that I can collect feedback but never display the results?

I want to set up some polls so that participants answering them cannot see who wrote what answers. But only I, as the admin, can see who wrote what answers - is this possible?

Is there a way that we can track participant names when they enter their answers in polls? Thanks. 

Hi Community,I want to build a kind of scavenger hunt. Teams of three people will walk around a large garden. At ten different locations they should answer one question. So I don’t want them to just stand somewhere without moving and answer all 10 questions. ;) I wonder how to set this up best. Can I create this within one event and give them QR codes/links/passcodes to each questions or do I have to create ten events each with one poll?Thanks a bunch for a hint!

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?

How does word cloud select the responses it displays? I know it shows the most common responses as a bigger font but many of the responses only have 1 vote. It doesn't seem to post the most recent responses. Just asking since some responses, which had very different topics, weren't reflected on the main screen. Thanks!

Hi there, I am going to be purchasing the enterprise option and will be setting the anonymity to default - always stay anonymous.Is there a way that the admins (me) could still track who answers polls and Q&As without other attendees seeing this information?  Essentially, we’d like to be able to track a participant’s responses and activities throughout the conference and in pre and post event surveys without any other participants seeing the names.  Thank you

Hi, we are considering purchasing Slido for our Consulting firm to run polls for our clients.   If we (the consulting firm) create a poll using our Slido account and provide our client with “guest” access, will the client be able to launch a Slido poll we created (on their PC) in PowerPoint?

I have prepared several Slido polls, but when I share the slido link with participants, it is only showing one poll. After responding to the question, the participants are unable to go to the next one. Please help!

I set up my account linked to google and now I want to remove this to avoid having to to log in through google. Is there a way to do this without losing my interactions?
