Is it possible to extend event dates for embedded polls?

I’m exploring Slido as a potential option for a client that needs to embed live, quick polls on their website for extended periods of time. However, it appears that event can only last one week, which would require the site administrators to continually update the event dates and/or update the embedded code on their site. This doesn’t seem like a practical solution. Any ideas or workarounds?

Is it possible to limit guest priviledges for a specific rooms in a conference event?

Hello,I am managing Slido for a large conference.   I would like to set up events with multiple rooms for our different sessions and invite guests to create polls, manage the questions, etc.  I see how to do that for the event as a whole, but I don’t see a way to restrict the guests to a particular room.    Is that possible?If not, do you have a recommendation for how I can ensure that different guests are not accidentally setting up polls, etc for rooms not associated with their sessions?  Do I have to create separate events for each one?Thanks,Lori

Can I show survey results all on one screen?

A community member ask about this a while back (see below).  I’m wondering if this feature has been added?  I upgraded to the paid version because it looked like that was possible in surveys.  I’m disappointed that  I can’t figure out how to do this. Fingers crossed! Thank you! Is there a way to have multiple ratings under one question? For example, the question could be “What rating do you give team 1?” and there would be 3 ratings of “relevance to brief”, “presentation” and “wow factor”. Is there a way to have these all show on one page instead of creating a survey where each rating is on a new page?

Can I define two groups of voters in a multiple choice poll?

Would it be possible to place participants into two different voting groups in one Multiple Choice poll?  Our hope is to present real-time voting results from Group A and Group B all in one question.  I tried using Multiple Rooms, but you only see the results in one room and not the other.So, for example, we have participants from Department A and Department B.  Both are participating in the same survey and we are asking Yes or No Multiple Choice questions.  We’d like to see real-time Yes/No percentage results broken down by each department.Hope that made sense.Thanks for any help you can provide on this!Jason

Ranking poll & weighting

Does anyone know whether it is possible to get a weighting on the rankings in Slido?  The formula offered isn’t as clear or as transparent as I would like.  Percentages or number of people who have voted for a particular option (even if it sits in the background) would be preferable.

How to reset participant count after testing an event?

Hi. I have been testing the polls for my upcoming events and afterwards I have reset the results. However, I can still see how many participants have participated in the testing under active/joined participant. Can I somehow delete these numbers? Because I can see that these numbers is part of the of the overall analytics and therefore effecting the “real” statistics from my polls.

Can participants move to the next question on their own?

Can participants move to the next question on their own? Or do I have to advance each question in real time? For example, can I share the polls ahead of time for participants to answer in their own time?  Then we can see the results together? Is there a setting I have to change to allow this to happen?

How to reset joined participants analytics?

Is there a way to reset the Joined Participant analytics? We would like to use the same code and url link for multiple dates, but would like to see when each participant logs in. We use SAML SSO for all of our events, and right now, if someone logs into an event, it only shows the first time they log in, even if they log in weeks apart. Another feature that would help us is to see if we can capture when people leave the page, but that is a topic for another time.

What plan do I need for users to only vote once?

I am organizing a song contest. The visitors have to choose from 20 participants, 3 that they think are the best. We don't want them to be able to change their choice after voting. They should not be able to vote again, when they refresh the website. And is there a fraud check built in?  Are these options in Slido and which subscription should I have?

Is it possible to moderate a word cloud?

Hey Slido Community,I am putting together a training presentation and was hoping to include the word cloud question.I love that they display the answers and as the more popular repeated answers/key words get mentioned they grow in size. However, is there a function that allows us to approve/vet the answers before they appear on the word cloud? Our higher ups voiced concerns about the possibility of people entering whatever they want (disparaging, abusive and or harassing comments)  Thank you.A

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!
