In Present mode, how can I make all my poll options fit on the screen?

Hi @HCIWebcasts , 

The number of options shown on your screen depends on your screen resolution and number of options in your multiple choice poll.

More options will display on participant devices before the need to scroll.

Depending on the size of their screen, it should fit around 7 single-line options before the need to scroll up and down. 
 

Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions!

Meggie - what if you are presenting in Powerpoint?  Resizing in “Present mode” in the online platform doesn’t seem to affect the size of the question displayed on the Powerpoint slide?

Thanks!

This is an important question.  There seems to be no way to show the entire poll results unless switching out of PPT and into the Slido App - Can you provide an update?  Is it possible to allow the creator to reduce the font size in the poll?

Hi there,

We very much appreciate the feedback here. For better or worse, there is no direct way to zoom in/out when presenting Slido in PowerPoint right now. However, I’d highly suggest you submit this to our Slido Wishlist. That’s the best place to share your thoughts with our Product teams.

Thanks for understanding

Is there a solution to this yet? It would be great to show all poll answer options without scrolling when using Slido in PowerPoint. We currently have 8 options and the screen only shows 7 without having the option to reduce the font size or zoom out.

Hi ​@ConnieW,

Currently, there isn't a direct option. However, you can try this workaround in your PowerPoint presentation:

1. Go to the "Design" tab.
2. Click on "Slide Size."
3. Select "Page Setup."
4. Change the height to better accommodate your poll options. You can also use this trick, here.

By adjusting the slide layout, you may be able to display all 8 options without needing to scroll when presenting with Slido.

Please note that this would affect the whole presentation.

I hope this helps!😊

These are all workarounds that do not provide a solution to the core display issue regardless of screen size. Having to scroll, change slide sizes, or zoom in or out is not a seamless experience for engagement and the purpose of audience engagement. I’m usually not presenting to then have to go up and zoom out in the middle of a poll makes no sense. 

Mentimeter.com doesn’t have this issue from the feedback colleagues have provided.

Hi ​@samuel.medina!
