Why is Slido not showing when sharing PowerPoint file on Webex?

Hello everyone,

I encountered some issues in a recent all-hands meeting. I created a multiple-choice poll on the Slido website and incorporated the slide into the PowerPoint file using the Slido plug-in. However, during the presentation, the main Slido slide displaying the question appeared initially, but upon advancing, it jumped to the next slide and not the one where it shows the live results, QR code / login details, etc. I suspect this might be related to the fact that I am not sharing my screen but rather uploading the PPT file. Can anyone provide insights into why this might be happening and if this is a workaround?

Hey @airiarte ,

Your suspicion is correct. I would suggest not uploading the PowerPoint file to Webex, but instead sharing your screen while presenting your PowerPoint.

For the most seamless experience, you can also add Slido to your Webex call. Then when you share your screen and present PowerPoint, the Slido polls will automatically activate for your participants directly in their Webex sidebar.

You can learn more in our guide for using Slido in Webex and PowerPoint.

Let us know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

Best,
