Can I create a Q&A session as a guest or co-host?

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

Hey @jalybe ,

As a Guest you have limited access within the slido itself. For example, accessing the settings is not available to you. If the Audience Q&A feature has not already been added to the slido, you would need to ask the person that created the slido to add Q&A.

If you are working in Google Slides on a mac, but the actual event will be using PowerPoint on a Windows machine, I’d recommend adding the slido’s QR code to your presentation. That will allow people to scan the code on their devices and participate in the Q&A. If you or the other event organizers/presenters would like to display the Slido polls and Q&A directly in the presentation(s), the presenting computer would need to have the PowerPoint add-in installed. 

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Best,
