Can you lock breakout rooms for participants?

We have an event with (8) different breakout rooms.  We have 8 different cities joining, one city for each breakout room.  We do not want one city to be able to switch to another city’s breakout room, and we are hoping here is a way to lock that functionality. We see that, as a participant, you can select your room at the top of your window.  Anyway to disable/lock that?

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?

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?

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

Why don't my results add up to 100%?

Hey everyone,I ran a multiple choice poll yesterday and the results did not add up to 100%, actually they added up to more than 100%. Why is this? Is there a bug? Has anyone else experienced this?

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.

Do guests need to log in to help manage Slido?

Hi, I created a shareable link to share with a colleague to help with the event. However, the shareable link is taking the user to the login page. I assumed with the shareable link, the user does not have to login and can manage the event directly. Please advise.

How does the word cloud select which responses it displays?

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!

How to use the same slido multiple times

Hi there, I’m looking for some clarification around reusing the same event multiple times. I’ve read the articles about reusing codes within powerpoint but am still a bit confused. In my case, I am looking to re-use the same Slido event for a workshop that will be run multiple times on different dates. Currently, when I reuse the same event / event code the audience sees responses from the previous session. Is my only option to clear the results or duplicate the event?My team likes to save the results so we can analyze the data, but we are also trying to avoid constantly duplicating events as it can get confusing for our facilitation team when they log into Slido to find & activate the event. I would love to be able to export analytics from one single event code and see the answers/ results from various sessions in one place.  Any guidance/ best practices around doing this would be super helpful.  Thank you!

How do I create a ranking poll which allows participants to ALSO add entries like in an open text poll?

How do I create a ranking poll which allows participants to ALSO add entries like in an "open text” poll?The problem with the vote-based ranking in the “open text” polls is that people can only vote (thumb up) an item once, and so their actual ranking will be obscured by a bunch of single votes for many options. And yet, the ability for audience to add items in the “open text” format is really lovely (a feature that’s absent in the ranking polls). Let me know how this can be achieved, and if it’s not a feature, it’d be great if it could be created!

Can we collect participant emails and/or phone numbers?

The quiz is being run is sync with a live streamed version of the quiz (a live show that participants (online and in live audience) can win some token prizes). We need to be able to contact the winners, so we need to collect a contact email and/or phone. Can we make this a mandatory part of the “joining” process? We will be running the SLIDO through powerpoint.

Can I use Slido for a formative assessment?

I want to create a multiple choice quiz as formative assessment. I don’t want the participants to see the correct answer or the leader board. Is it possible to set up a slido that way?
