Feature Request: Moderator/Presenter Board

Hi, I was wondering if I could input a feature request. A big fan of Slido myself, I only see one real flaw in the current process, and that’s the lack of a Presenter Board. The issue I have is that a lot of the times we have a team of people in the Moderation menu selecting the questions to be sent to the presenter to ask and there is not real way to send them over to the Q&A Moderator on stage without using external means. Right now we’re using live word doc, but it’s a bit cumbersome and not very fluid. Vevox has a function called “Approve for Presenter” so that the questions that are approved by the team get sent to the presenter view and are visible on presenter link only, but not to the rest of the attendees. This is really useful because it allows for more seamless communication between back of house team and presenters on stage. Presenters just get one simple link and they only see approved questions in a clean and simple way that makes it easy for them as well. And this st

About user privacy and how to give rewards

Hello,Our company is planning to use Slido for user events and gift rewards.I understand that we can set up user actual names and emails by upgrading our license. However, I have a question: What if a user enters their name and email randomly? Is there any way to prevent the audience from using fake names and emails?If we can't ensure the accuracy of the provided names and emails, won't it be challenging to identify and reward the actual audience? Even if we implement a verification process for names and emails, we may still face difficulties in reaching out to the real audience.Please let us know if you have any solutions. Thank you.

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.

Post-event surveys (private)

I am wondering if I can collect post-event survey results in a slido poll tool? I am using Polls and Word Clouds during an upcoming power point presentation and thought it would be nice to offer, rather than sending everyone to an online survey tool (like in constant contact.)

​Webinar recording: How Psychological Safety Boosts Team PerformancePsychological Safety

Last week, we organized the first webinar of our new series on Psychological Safety and Leadership. 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
