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.

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

Slido allows you to make learning an engaging and fun experience. You can encourage active participation in learning by checking for content understanding in real-time, enabling learners to ask and upvote questions, and asking for critical feedback. In this guide, you’ll learn how to use Slido to make your Trainings, Workshops and Webinars more inclusive by allowing your attendees to actively participate - whether they are remote or onsite. Common challenges Little to no interaction Unable to check for understanding Lack of inclusion How Slido can help Encourage participation

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 result

Use Slido to help your team brainstorm their strategy, identify projects for the next quarter, or crowdsource the agenda for an upcoming event or conference. You can even allow them to submit their ideas or suggestions into Slido in advance. This allows you to use your valuable meeting time for a productive discussion – instead of simply collecting input. In this guide, you will learn how to use Slido to make your brainstorming sessions more effective, regardless of whether your team is remote or in the room. Common challenges Fear of rejection Lack of productivity

A retrospective meeting is a unique opportunity for the whole team to get together, uncover any problematic issues, and have an open discussion about how to collaborate better. Slido enables you to interact with your team at scale, whether they are remote or onsite. It allows you to gauge team satisfaction, identify what’s going well (and what’s not), celebrate team achievements, and measure progress over time. Use this guide to learn how to use Slido at your retrospective meetings. You’ll quickly see how much more productive they can be for you and your team. Common challenges Being unaware of team satisfaction Ineffective communication Lack of progress

Making a decision as a team can be difficult, especially in a hybrid setup or video conferencing environment. Instead of extended back and forth discussions with people talking over one another, put an item to a vote using Slido polls. With Slido, each person has an equal opportunity to have a say – plus, you’ll see the results instantly. No matter if there are 10 or 1,000 people participating, you'll be able to collect opinions from each and every one of them – no matter if they are remote or onsite. In this guide, you will learn how to use Slido to help you simplify your team decision-making process, give everyone an equal voice, and save time while doing so. 

Engaging employees during All Hands or Town Hall meetings can be a challenge. But with Slido, it’s never been easier for you to interact with your team at scale. You can ask for real-time feedback on business updates, cultivate employee buy-in, collect the best ideas, and much more. In this guide, you will learn how to use Slido to make your All Hands and Town Hall meetings more inclusive by encouraging your employees to actively participate – no matter if they are remote or onsite. Common challenges

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 wha
