Lost data when reactivating poll

HiI was running a slido at the end of some training recently and I accidentally reactivated one of the polls that had already been responded to. This seemed to cause a loss of all the data that had been captured in that poll. Is there anyway of retrieving that data?Thanks

Quiz - Can you add and remove points from participants DURING quiz?

Is it possible to add and remove points from participants DURING the quiz? For more info, we’re looking to have a session where in addition to the quiz participants can gain or lose points through various other activities happening in the room. We’d like to keep score on just the one scoreboard/leaderboard though in slido and just integrate their points earning/losing in slido.

Interactive Webinar Experiences with Slido

I’ve been using Slido for in-person events for the last 1.5 years and I’ve used a few times for webinars. We’re shifting our approach to webinars to make them more interactive. In fact, they’re less webinar and much more of an engagement experience. That said, getting engagement can be hard even with in-person events (I know personally). We use ice-breakers to get folks familiar with Slido and that has worked well. Here’s our use case:We have an experience with 3 different challenges and wanted responses on a 2-3 questions for each challenge. Would 3x3 = 9 types of questions be too much in a 45 minute span?Does integration with Zoom work better when sharing slides? What’s the max number of questions or polling you’ve done in a 45 min online event with 100 people? This is with “prospect customers”, not an internal company event, so the stakes for a smooth execution are much higher. I’ll happily share what we end up doing and the results.Thanks,Peter

Team Building Activities to Build Psychological SafetyBest practices

We're excited to share that we recently held our very first Masterclass on Team Building Activities to Build Psychological Safety! It was a great follow up on our insightful webinar about How Psychological Safety Boosts Team Performance.  The format of this session was to walk you through a blueprint of how you can run a Psychological Safety workshop, that you can later put into practice within your teams.  We first focused on giving you a template on how to assess where your team is in terms of the four stages of Psychological Safety, and then how you can take them through the journey to democratically decide on what are the best practices to implement to establish Psychological Safety. But, our main focus was on you – our users and community members – we wanted to gather practical tips and best practices for improving Psychological Safety within your teams. We’ve prepared a step-by-step blueprint for you to replicate this workshop with your teams.

We deep dived into this concept and its stages, impact on individuals, team dynamics and overall performance.  Here's a recap of the key takeaways and insights, you can access the slide deck here. What is Psychological Safety? We started off by asking our audience what the term Psychological Safety means to them, here’s what they thought:  Using a Word Cloud, participants are able to sum up their understanding in a word. This makes for a great visual, as when a word already in the cloud is repeated by another participant, they grow bigger on the presentation. Learn more about the connection between Psychological Safety and team performance  👉 Why Psychological Safety is Essential for Performance in the Workplace The four stages of Psychological Safety Then, our very own Business Psychologist, Sofia Moltke-Leth guided us through the four stages of the psychological safety model by Timoth
