Is it possible to get notified when the new question is posted?

Is there a way to get notifications whenever a new question is posted? Use case is when Q&A is being used to collect questions over an extended period of time; not just during a short, one-time event. Thanks!

Can I run a quiz game for individuals?

I want to make 10 quiz for individual guests. For each question, there are 3 answers and guests will chose one answer - then we will show the correct answer.After 10 quiz, I want to give presents to TOP 3 people who choose the correct answers the most. Does Slido have such a function to know who are the TOP 3 winners in the quiz?

Multiple quizzes/polls based on fixed approved content

We operate in a highly regulated environment and want multiple users to be able to separately run predefined polls/quizzes based on accessing controlled content which cannot be edited by these users.  Does anyone know whether Slido can support this type of Use Case?

Default writing direction when creating Polls/ Surveys

Hi,I’m creating polls in Arabic. When doing so I can right click on the text field, select writing direction and change it to ‘right to left’ as this is what I require. There is a ‘default option’ but it is blanked out. I have ‘Arabic’ selected in the Poll/ Survey language settings. My issue is that for each text entry I have to right click and do as I have described above. This is very slow and cumbersome. Is there a way to select the writing direction default for all text fields in a survey where Arabic is the language or is there another workaround? Thanks,Daithi

How long will my presentation be live?

I am creating a presentation I will be doing in October, but the free version only gives a week for the presentation to be open. The other plans don’t give a time table for how long it can be used. How long can I keep the event open?

Is it possible to use Slido for a non-live event?

Is it possible to use Slido outside of a live event? I am interested in sharing documents with my audience then then having them respond with polls, questions and more, but over the space of several days on their own time, not just immediately in a meeting.  Is this possible? Thanks so much for any guidance.

Is there any way that I can ask my participants where they are from when they answer questions?

We run an international conference and we like to refer to the country or location from where the person that is asking the questions is from to promote inclusivity and show the reach of the conference. Does anyone have an idea of how we might get this information from the people answering our questions?

Can I filter through questions?

Is it possible to filter polls by questions? for example, is it possible to only see data entered by a participant who would have answered ‘’yes’’ to the first question?

Can I duplicate a session?

It would be super helpful if we could duplicate a session. Right now we have to duplicate each question and assign it to a different session. It’d be great to do this all at once to reduce the work, as well as reduce the margin for error if we duplicate things wrong or miss a question.

Can I manually select a poll option for a participant?

New to Slido, and looking to purchase the one-time event option as a trial run for future subscriptions.I am looking to create a simple multiple-choice poll for a large exclusively in-person audience. My intent is for each member to go to the Slido website and access the poll from there, voting as I prompt them to.My concern is around the few individuals that may have difficulty accessing the site, or simply do not have a mobile device on which to access it. How can I manually enter their choice for them so that their vote is counted in the poll?For example, I have 100 audience members and my multiple-choice poll is to pick a number 1, 2, 3, or 4. 99 of the audience members are able to log in to the poll on the website, but one person is having problems with his phone. He tells me as the person administering the poll that his choice is #2. How can I go into the poll as the administrator and select #2 for him, bringing the total votes in the poll to 100 instead of just 99?Thanks for the

How can I let my participants vote on answers in open text polls?

Hi there,I am trying to create a poll where a statement/question is made to the participants, and they can then use the free text field to submit their thoughts and answers. Ideally I would then like other participants be able to vote or ‘like’ any answers that they see appear on the screen, so we can then rank the answers.  Is this possible?

Managing Slido polls with regards to broadcast delay/latency

I was hoping to use Slido with Vimeo LiveStream. There will be approximately a 20sec delay between the live feed, and the broadcast feed.  If I am watching the broadcast feed, I should be able to launch questions/polls in time with the feed. Has anyone done this sort of thing?

How can I display results before and after a training?

Hi Community,I’m working on a training event. Within this training, I’d like to have a PRE-training survey and a POST-training survey. Both surveys have the same exact questions (and answers). I would like to present (ideally in a single screen/report) results from both PRE and POST surveys to show the improvements to the audience, highlighting the effectiveness of the training… I’d like to also show more basic statistics (average score, min/max, std. dev., etc.)Does anybody know how to do this or is this even a feature? I purchased the Professional Plan, yet I don’t seem to find a way to execute this… Alternatively, does anybody have any other proposal as to how to show improvement? Thank you,OM-22

How can I make participant names carry over from the quiz to other polls?

When names are entered into the quiz section do they not automatically save for the polls in the same slido presentation?

Why does testing data appear in my analytics even after resetting the polls?

Hi I notice in our testing of the quiz and survey that we have set up that although we reset the survey after each test, our testing data still appears in the analytics. Is there a way to reset the analytics so that our test analytics data does not affect the real data we want to collect at the event. Jason

How does a one-time plan work?

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

Managing quizzes in multiple rooms

Hiwe have an event where we are using SLIDO to run a quiz. It is a one time professional subscription. The quiz is live and live streamed. We therefore have two distinct audiences (live and online) that we want to keep separate but who are competing in the same quiz at the same time and seeing/doing everything the same (except for time lag -see below). The quiz is being live streamed on YouTube and participants will play the quiz via SLIDO on separate devices. We will operate the SLIDO to sync with what is happening in the live quiz.I have set up multiple rooms (1 for the online participants and 1 for the live audience). For the online audience, there is a potential problem with a time lag with what is happening live and being live streamed on youtube  and what the people playing online will see via SLIDO - ie while we can sync the SLIDO quiz with the live event, for the live audience this may be out of sync  ie apparently up to 30 seconds between what happened live and when the online

Feature request: "Categorize/sort items" option

One type of question that is missing from Slido is to let students sort items into 2-3 different lists. For example, the categories could be Africa, Asia, and Europe and they have to sort different countries (Ethiopia, Cambodia, Hungary, etc) into the right list.

How long can you keep Q&A active?

Dear Slido community, I would like to know how long can you keep a Q&A and poll active with a free account. I would like to reuse the same link/event for some time (maybe some months). Is that possible with a free account? I read about the permanent link but not sure if I understood. Also, when I try to change the end date of the event, it’s not possible to be longer than one week. Thank you in advance! Best, Jacinto

What is the difference between sessions and event dates?

We have a one time professional subscription. I have created a quiz that I have set the date for as 7-13 August. The event itself is on 7 August, but I want to allow people time to complete a short survey at the end so I extended the days). I have noticed an ‘assign session’ and ‘create a session’ tab in the three dots next the the Quiz session. What I have done by assigning then creating a session for 7 August and setting the time for the 2 hours the actual quiz will run on the day. What have I done here by doing this? ie Is this somehow different to the 7-13 August setting I set up when I created the quiz? Have I set a time which means participants won’t be able to log in and participate in the until the time I have set and will it shut down - lock them out - after the 2 hour time I have set? Apologies but none of these distinctions seem to be mentioned in your multitude of disparate instructions. Jason
