Many customers have a preference of using either Slido or Chat for participant engagement in a Webex Meeting or Webinar. The “Announcements” feature is a great solution to allow customers to disable Webex’s chat panel, as a means of funneling all attendee interactions into the Slido Panel. Announcements provides Slido Moderators & Co-Moderators the ability to publish a message to all Slido participants. The current experience is that the announcement must be made through the Slido Web Application, and the announcement will be visible to participants viewing the Embedded Slido App in the WSMP Webinar or Meeting. However, this introduces undesirable complexity for the person publishing the announcement, per the requirement of accessing the Slido Web App to utilize this feature.
Feature Request.
Make the “Announcements” feature available for use in the Embedded Slido App for WSMP Meetings & Webinars. This will allow more customers to standardize their participant engagement on Slido, and eliminate the requirement to also use “Chat” in order to publish text content in a Webinar.
