Pre-defined list of phrases for the Word cloud poll type

How can I predefine the suggested list of phrases for the Word Cloud poll type?For example, I want to ask the audience to tell me the names of brands they use to gather logs.And I already provided them a short list of most popular ones like:ElasticSearch, Grafana Loki, StatsD, Datadog, New Relic.So, via the poll I want the audience to not only choose brands that they use now, but also type new brands that are not listed yet.So the “Multiple Choice” poll type doesn’t suit because they can’t add new options there.The “Word Cloud” poll suite more, but I can’t predefine the list of suggested options, so people will type something like “Elastic” + “ElasticSearch” + “Elastic Search” + “Elastic Stack” + “ELK” and we will got a lot of duplicates. So, could you please extend the “Word Cloud” poll configuration to allow adding predefined suggested options, with keeping the ability to add new custom strings?

Reset poll results after testing

Hi everyone,Is there an easy way to reset my poll responses or results? I’d like to test my slido out to make sure I understand what I’m doing, but I want to know that I can start fresh again. I’m worried that I’ll have my testing responses there and won’t be able to remove them. Is this possible?

👏 Customer Story: Creating a Live Dialogue with Employees at All‑hands Meetings by Suntory

Some time ago, we talked to Norito Yonezawa, Corporate Strategy Planner at Suntory Beverage & Food Limited, a global leader in producing soft drinks and food products based in Japan and one of our most engaged customers. ✨ We’d like to highlight Suntory’s story of how Slido helped them transform their company culture and gave voice to their more silent employees. Like any multinational corporation, it’s vital for Suntory to keep its teams aligned. To connect its 24,000 employees with the executive team, it runs quarterly townhall meetings.Traditionally, in Japanese business culture, people tend to avoid asking questions or participating actively in meetings. Suntory wanted to change that. Its goal was to create a safe space for its employees to open up and start a live discussion during their townhalls. “With Slido, we can see more honest questions that the executives answer from the top of their heads. Hearing what people really think makes the conversation feel more authentic.

🙋 Discussion of the month: driving productive discussions

Hey Community, Another month has passed which can only mean that it’s time for a new discussion of the month 🤗 Close your eyes and try to remember the last time you had a productive team discussion. It’s not easy, right? Yet productive discussions are key to great meetings. That is why we’re focusing on driving productive discussions, this month. Here are some quick tips: 📌 Get people talking from the beginning by running an icebreaker word cloud. Ask about a hot topic in the company. You can always moderate the responses. 📌 Before jumping into the discussion, ask people to write down their opinions in an open text poll. If you don’t want participants to influence each other, hide the poll results. 📌 To move the discussion forward, run a quick ranking poll and ask participants which options they would like to focus on. To understand how we calculate scores in ranking polls, check out our quick explainer. Head over to our blog to read more about using polls to drive productive disc

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. This slide deck includes assessments

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.

Hey Community, As we near the end of February, it’s time for our favorite activity - discussion of the month 🎉 Moving into 2022, the world is becoming more hybrid and remote-friendly, much to the joy of those of us who love working in sweatpants. But how can we communicate effectively without a physical shared space? 👉 The answer could be asynchronous communication and that is our topic of the month. Asynchronous communication happens when you exchange information at different times. Head over to our blog to read about the benefits of asynchronous communication and for 7 tips on embracing it.

Ideal timing for a poll during a presentation

Howdy. I’m using Slido and loving it. The audience seems to like it too. Tomorrow I’m doing a 90 minute presentation, and I’m using polls/surveys to break up my talking. This serves two purposes: 1. Gives a chance for people to engage; 2. Gives me a second to take a sip of water and mentally get ready for the next section. I’m wondering, in all the experience of members here, what have you found to be the _ideal_ time to give people a chance to answer the poll. I dont think (but am easily corrected) that really the number of people in the session–be it 4 or 56–has much to do with the timing; everyone can read and answer at roughly the same time.So what is the ideal time to allow as many people to answer the poll as we can get while also keeping the momentum of the talk going? I ask because it seems, using Google Slides, the poll on the screen is the only active one, and you can only have one at a time (unless in a survey), so if you move onto the next slide, people lose their chance t

I am looking for recommendations on the best way to present a PowerPoint deck with some Slido polls intermixed throughout the presentation by an outside A/V person. I have created these with the Slido powerpoint plugin. It works great when I present it on my device. Although, for the speaking event, the presentation must be displayed on a device owned by the events company. What is the recommended method for this situation?
