How can I remove the AI tools from Q&A?

AI tools are not always useful for question posing. In fact, many scenarios exist that make it counter-productive, topic-wise, group-wise, competence-wise, objectives-wise, etc. How can I remove the AI tools from Q&A? Thanks.

Virtual Icebreakers: Bring your team meetings to life

Remote and hybrid meetings are here to stay, but let's face it: a video call can't compete with spontaneous water cooler conversations or coffee break chats that we enjoyed face-to-face. Yet, these social interactions are more important than ever to retain team cohesion, battle loneliness, and keep the team spirit high. We hosted a webinar Virtual Icebreakers: Bring your team meetings to life , full of tips on how to make remote team meetings more engaging and how to create ways that will help your team naturally bond. Here are our top ones on how to use ice-breakers to: 1. Know your colleagues better Guess whose desk: Collect pictures from your colleagues of their desks at home and add them into Slido multiple choice polls with a question: “Can you guess whose desk this is?” and give several options. 2. Spark fun & creativity Home treasure hunt: Give your teammates a little task such as: “You have 25 seconds to fetch something yellow,” or “Get the newest thing in your apartment, then

What are best practices for using Slido during live meetings?

I plan to use Slido in a live meeting session that will include display of various Slido elements and outcomes. Some will be included in powerpoint, while others will be impromptu. What are some of the tips and tricks for new Slido administrators to use to ensure a smooth meeting experience between live presentation content, Slido elements and displaying results to that same live audience? Do you use multiple computers or displays? How do you ensure projection of intended Slido information and not administrative content / screens? Assume that the projected Slido content will come from a laptop hooked up to projection via HDMI. I’m concerned that when the admin selects ‘present’, the screen control changes on the host laptop so administration functions are no longer available. I’m concerned about ‘administration’ and ‘presentation’ from a single laptop isn’t clean as I don’t want the audience to see administration items and content.

Slido for YouTube like Live HD Broadcasting

Hello everyone, I thought I’d share a creative solution our team uses to integrate Slido into a live broadcasting environment, along with some suggestions for future feature development. For context: Microsoft Teams and Zoom are excellent tools for collaborative meetings but fall short when it comes to broadcasting. Our team hosts hour-long live video training sessions that include participant interaction and a Q&A segment afterward. Privacy is crucial for our audience, which makes Slido such a great fit. In the work we do, most participants prefer not to share their camera feed but still want to interact with the facilitator live on screen. One major issue with video conferencing tools is that they compress video quality to reduce the processing load of multiple video feeds. When delivering a live event, providing the best possible visuals is essential for creating an engaging audience experience. By opting for one-way video broadcasting through platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Castr, o

Recommendations for running real-time voting poll with open-ended text fields?

We are hosting a virtual costume contest and want attendees to vote for each of their favorite categories during the team call. What recommendations do you have to pull this off successfully? There are 5 categories for voting, including best overall. It is also impossible for us to pre-load a survey or multiple choices with names and/or voting options as the costumes will be revealed and need to be written in real-time. We are also expecting 25+ attendees, so pre-populating a multiple choice with expected names won’t be feasible. Is there a template for this use case? I am new to Slido and have currently set it up as multiple polls with word clouds, each integrated into the meeting PPT. The tutorial videos indicate the more popular words will be larger, but we prefer to see actual voting numbers (if even only me and a meeting collaborator). I am not finding how best to tabulate such results for the open text words, nor how best to export the outcomes for each poll question. Thank you!

There is no pre-built Okta integration for Participants so I’d like to know what I need to enter for the following: Single sign-on URL Audience URI (SP Entity ID) Secondary to the above question, is there an option to leverage the existing IDP connection used for Members to allow participant login?

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

Can I collect suggestions AND then proceed to vote?

Hi We’re looking for a tool that will hekp facilitate a workshop in the following phases (or similar): Crowd-source a list of suggestions (or ideas etc) from participants in a free text format (either “Word cloud” or “Open text”), Then progress to a voting stage based on the crowd-sourced entries. So we democratise the ideas (rather than the host/chairperson prescribing them) and then move onto a voting phase. I can kind of see the “Word cloud” doing this, but asking participants to manually type the same words that they see on the board in order to vote for it seems a little long-winded and less intuitive. Any ideas? Thanks,
