Issue: Slido poll embedded in Powerpoint closes without facilitator advancing the slide.Testing explored:No PPT timing enabledNo Slido timer enabledThe issue only happens when:Presenting, and I have a class of approx 20 participantsI have tested in presentation mode by myself, answered the poll - and the slide/poll does not close/advance.Any solutions I can try?
We want to use Slido in a meeting to rank priorities, but my boss wants to be able to add in options live in case members want to add something we’ve missed - is this possible to do mid-presentation without me coming out of presenter view and everyone seeing me do it?
We would like to silent install Slido for Powerpoint on macOS and without being prompted for an admin password. We use Jamf to deploy the app, I followed the instructions to silent install, used the command but as soon as the user launches the app, it prompts for admin password. Please let me know if there is a way to suppress it or bypass it. The admin prompt says that ‘Slido wants to make changes. Enter admin password.’
My PowerPoint slides are locked by Slido when I try to save them, and I can't save them. What should I do?Is it because I'm using the free version that the quiz limits me to a maximum of 3 questions?
I have had a lot of trouble using the add on in slides. Mostly when I try to build a slido the sidebar does not open and tells me to close and reopen, frustrating. Then if I present, sometimes the videos I have do not play, they just become static images. Not often but it never happened before. Anyone else having this issue and how do I fix it?
I’m being driven insane… I’m working on a powerpoint deck with Slido integrated, and every day my connection to Slido breaks, and I get the error message “Web browser blocked by anti-virus” I have NO idea how I’m able to fix it, and then it breaks the next day. Can anyone help, please? I’m using Chrome, am on Windows, and have Sophos as my antivirus.
Have you ever called in sick for your job while not actually being sick or being sick as a result of making poor choices (for example: drinking, going out late at night in cold conditions, etc)?
I have Owner access for my team and have to add them to presentations for collaboration. However, when they share their presentations with me I am unable to add slido to it. The add on option is not there for me and when I have gone to make sure I have it downloaded and installed in google slides, I do. So can I not add someone to collaborate on a slido for a presentation they shared with me (and made me an editor on). I have also made copies, put them in my own drive, and opened them that way but the slido extension/add on option is greyed out on the tool bar. I have it installed on chrome too, which doesn’t seem to do anything. Any help would be nice. Thanks!
Hi there, I cannot get my slido extension/add on to work within my google slides. I keep getting the same error message. I just got out of troubleshooting with our IT team and they can’t figure out what’s going on. Tracking ID: X6rbjHaOyjIsR35
Hi there, I’m considering using Slido for a university open day and over the day there will be around 50 talks happening that would like to involve a Q&A component. Each talk will be based on a different topic and i was wondering if i could use one account for this but have different Q&A sessions running at the same time and how this would work. Would each session need to have a unique QR code or would each have the same QR code and then potentially a code for the guests in that session to enter to then be in the correct Slido Q&A for that session? The QR code would be show on a powerpoint up on the screen and i feel it may be easier for this QR to be universal accross the presentations but then there being a way for the quests to enter the correct session Q&A through the platform. I worry if i need to put 50 unique QRs across the presentations that some may get jumbled and guests ending up in the wrong slido Q&A. Cheers, Tom
When we embed our Slido poll into our SharePoint site, the side panel is in full view (no hamburger menu presentation). Ideally, we’d like to remove that menu option -- and the Account option -- completely from the poll view. Is that possible?
Is it possible to hide survey (not poll) questions when presenting live?I would like people to fill the survey while they are in the room, but I don’t want the questions to show up in my PowerPoint because I have a few more slides to show after the survey.
Hello, I have just received my licence and have created a rating poll in PowerPoint. However, when colleagues scan the QR code it doesn’t take them to the poll it asks for a sign on. Is there something that I need to change that will allow then to access the poll directly as they will be using their personal mobile phones.
Hi, I built a survey with about ~25 questions for a meeting, however some of these questions are just for detailling and staying in our backlog. I would like to show results only for 10 of these questions in PPT - is there any way I can do that?
I have been using Slido almost a year and when I went to use this am...I got a virus threat warning on my virus protection software and it seems to be blocking the site on my powerpoint. Any thoughts? Anyone else getting this warning?
I’ve created questions using the Slido add in app in PowerPoint. I was using the free plan. Once I hit the limit, I upgraded to a paid plan. But, the Slido in app version in PowerPoint doesn’t recognize my upgrade. The chat support suggested I close and re-open PowerPoint, which I did. It also suggested I select “My Slido” in PowerPoint to select the current plan but that’s not an option I see in PPT. I’m on a Mac. Has anyone experienced and overcome this issue?
I am presenting across a large screen and the powerpoint slide settings are 127 cm x 42 cm. When I get to the slido slides they look like this. Is there a setting I need to change?
In case I have multple quizzes, could I have a final winner (who ansewered correctly to most of quizzes) ?
Hi Slido team/community,I’m using Slido with PowerPoint and I’m trying to understand if it’s possible to control which audience questions are displayed to participants — e.g., approve and show selected questions only when I choose.Right now it seems that all questions submitted by participants are visible without a way to hide or manually publish them from the free plan, even though I expected some control over which questions appear for the audience. I’ve tried to control it with the eysymbol by the question but i doesnt seem to work when i’m using it in my presentation. I’ve read that moderation features (where questions are reviewed before being shown) are available in Professional or higher plans, but I want to confirm: Is there any way in the free plan to approve/dismiss or hide questions before they become visible to participants? Does this apply when using Slido embedded in PowerPoint presentations as well as in browser/Teams? Thanks in advance for clarification! 🙏
Hello, I am new to Slido. I am organising a conference where three (and possibly more) presenters want to use Slido integrated into Powerpoint. They all have their own Engage accounts.My understanding is that they need to be logged into their own respective Slido account in order to get their own Slido/Powerpoint presentations to work. How annoying is it for the audience to have to scan several QR codes over the course of the day to interact with the individual lectures? And is it commonly done this way?Thanks – Simon
Hi there! I am making a powerpoint with Slido for some games for a work event next week. I am trying to create a quiz. The quiz will have quite a few answers to choose from (we’re guessing who’s who from baby pictures). When I start the quiz and it goes to the screen to show how many people voted for a specific answer, I can’t see all of the results. Is there a way to see all the options? I’m not able to scroll, it just gets cut off.
I am getting an error “authorization is required to perform that action” while working on my windows PC. I have loaded Slido and am using Google Slides. When I try and open up Slido within my Google slides under extensions I get the error that authorization is required to perform that action
SlidoSetup_v1.20.0.7308 crashes PowerPoint, Can I get a pervious version?
I would like to insert an image on the poll slide. How can I do that?
We will be presenting at a conference soon and the conference will pre-load the presentation on their laptops for my session. Will they need to have the slido add-in on their laptop for me to use slido? Can I still present and have all the necessary features (especially live results from questions) work as they should if they do NOT download the extension?
