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 Slidoโs fasterย .
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 youโre 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, weโve made it easier for presenters and participants to engage with each other.
ย
Slidoโs new interface will become the default for all users onย November 7. Learn more in this announcement.
Whatโs New:
ย
โโโโโโโCreating 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 wasnโt easy enough, Slido now auto-saves your interactions whilst you create them, so you donโt have to worry about losing your place!
ย
To get startedย +ย Create slido from Host mode. Youย can then choose which one to start with from interaction tiles. To continue to build your slido, just select + add new from the left hand side next to interactions.ย
ย

ย
Slido Q&A
ย
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.
ย
See for yourself with our Q&A article.ย

Slido Settings
Multiple layer menus in settings are now a thing of the past! With our new design, key settings are grouped together, providing you with a more intuitive and accessible experienceย
