The new Slido interface is testament to our commitment to a better experience for our hosts and attendees. Our user-centric and innovative design has a sleek and modern look that should enable you to create your Slido’s faster .
Presentations and events are fast-paced, and the way we work has changed in recent years, so engaging your audience has never been more important. Whether you’re running a corporate meeting, webinar, or even a lecture, maintaining your attendees attention is the key to success.
Now, with the introduction of the improved Slido interface, we’ve made it easier for presenters and participants to engage with each other.
What’s New:
​​​​​​​Creating a Slido
The new interface centralizes interaction options, allowing users to add polls, Q&A sessions and quizzes as interactions in fewer clicks. These options are now more visible and easier to access. If that wasn’t easy enough, slido now auto-saves your interactions whilst you create them, so you don’t have to worry about losing your place!

After your feedback, we decided to include Audience Q&A in the interactions list alongside polls, survey and quiz, so everything is in one place. Once you add Q&A as an interaction, the Q&A settings will display on the right hand side of your slido, allowing you to adjust and moderate your session as required.
