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

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!

 “Slido helped our 600-people audience feel heard throughout the conference by having a say in what questions get asked during the Q&A sessions.”Mathilde Leo, Co-founder of JAM JAM is a leading product conference to share the stories behind great products. Every year, it brings together hundreds of product managers and designers eager to hear lessons from some of the biggest brands around, including Uber, Netflix and Google. The team wanted to create an environment where the participants could learn from world-class speakers facing the same challenges as them. With this goal in mind, they built in Q&A sessions that offered enough space for such interaction. To involve everyone in the discussion, the team swapped the microphones for Slido. As a result, they managed to engage a whopping 70% of the audience in the conversation. Replacing mics with Slido to involve everyoneWhen JAM first started in 2015 with 150 participants, the organizers were using mics to take questions from th

“Slido took us from 0 to 100. Before, we only had assumptions about how many people were engaged in our team calls. Now we have facts, thanks to Slido.”Brian Davenport, VP of Service, A1 Garage Door Service A1 Garage Door Services is a growing business with 200 employees across ten U.S. states. To keep their field workers aligned and updated, they run weekly live-streamed team meetings. Some people join from 15 different offices, others are completely remote. But hosting virtual meetings comes with its challenges. “In the past, nobody would speak during the calls, and after each meeting, we got questions about things we had already explained. It seemed like people were not listening”, shares Brian Davenport, VP of Service. Brian wanted to find a way to resolve this and get people more involved during the calls. “We wanted to increase our employee engagement across the country in all of the live-streamed meetings. That's where Slido came in and helped us to increase this.” The problem:

“With Slido, we went from 5-6 employee questions received during our leadership meetings to over 100.”Jessica Kosmack, Senior Communications Specialist, Toronto Transit Commission The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the third largest public transportation agency in North America. During their regular leadership meetings, all 1,600 leaders gather to share updates, discuss the latest issues and align with the organizational strategy. Traditionally, TTC did not see a high engagement during the meetings. “The meeting participants had the opportunity to ask questions but most were reluctant or perhaps not interested in putting their hands up”, explained Jessica Kosmack, Senior Communications Specialist at the TTC. To address this, the TTC leveraged Slido to get more employees to participate actively. As a result, they increased the number of questions from only a handful to over 100 and brought people’s real concerns to light. Get inspired by the TTC story. Battling low engagement durin

“Because of Slido, everyone at HUMANOO now has the same opportunity to be heard.”Maximilien A. Notter, Co-CEO, HUMANOO HUMANOO is a Berlin-based startup that offers customized, on-demand programs for its subscribers, enabling them to build sustainable healthy habits and improve their health, day by day. “We are the first ones in Europe to translate health activities into rewards, into cash. We do that by working with both companies and insurance companies, helping them to pay so-called health bonuses to their employees or insurees”, begins Maximilien A. Notter, the Co-CEO of HUMANOO. HUMANOO’s 80 plus employees are currently distributed across Berlin, Paris, and London, in a hybrid setup. As their global team continues to grow, the need for greater transparency across the company grew as well. In this story, Maximilien A.
