Slido is gradually rolling out a new user interface. If the below steps and visuals match what you are seeing within your account, then you are using the new interface and this article is for you. If not, please see this version.

 

With Slido, you can add an image to your poll or quiz questions to provide context. Whether you wish to test the knowledge of your participants, gather their insights, or let them vote on something based on an image, it’s super easy to set up.

 

When adding a visual to your poll question, you’ll have three options:

  • Choose an image from the Pexels library
  • Choose a gif from the GIPHY library
  • Upload an image from your computer
     

Paid plan required for uploading images from your computer. For more details, see our pricing page.

 

 

Adding an image or gif to a poll

 

  1. Select your poll and click on Poll settings in the upper right corner
  2. Click the Add image section
  3. Search for the perfect image or gif – or select the Upload option to add an image from your desktop

Your choice is saved automatically and you can edit the image anytime by opening back up your Poll settings.
 

In your Poll settings, you have two options for how your image will display in the Present mode: Next to options or Fullscreen before options.

 

Pro tip: After adding your image, activate your poll and select the View as participant option in the bottom right corner. This will show you exactly how your participants will see your image and poll question.

 

 

Tips for uploading images:

  • We support all common graphic formats like .jpeg, .png, .webp, .gif, and .tiff, with a maximum size of 10 MB.
     
  • Any uploaded files will display as static (e.g. gifs won’t move). Only gifs added via the GIPHY option will show any movement.
     
  • If you encounter an error when uploading, please make sure that your image doesn’t exceed 3000 pixels wide.

Images and thumbnails are not visible, see screenshot please, how to solve this issue? On classic view it was working, I believe it stopped working when I ran into new interface mode. 

 


Hello @Maciej 

thank you for sharing the screenshot. Would it be possible to reach out to our support team with this? You can write them to support@slido.com


Hi @PhD-Paris,

Unfortunately, you can only upload one picture to an image poll and only have text as options for your participants to choose from.

As a workaround, we see a lot of our customers making a collage of multiple pictures and putting them in one, you can also put numbers or letters in the corners of each picture and then have these letters as options of the poll to click on. 

 

Please let me know if my explanation makes sense! :) 

Hi ​@Alex ,is there an update on the option to upload image to the individual options? So that we don´t have to use the mentioned workaround. 


Hello ​@Elena Yaneva 

the workaround is still the only option as the picture can be currently uploaded only into the question and not as options.
