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 old interface and this article is for you. If not, please see this version.
Surveys allow you to ask multiple poll questions at the same time. They let you group several polls which participants then fill in all at once. They’re also a great way to ask for feedback.
Available in all paid plans.
Here’s a quick how-to video:

Create a survey
If you’re starting from scratch and don’t have any polls in Slido yet, start by clicking on Create surveys at the bottom of your Live polls tab.
If you already have some polls in your event:
- Click on Create poll and select Survey
- Select a type of poll (Multiple choice, Word cloud, Rating, Open text, Ranking)
- Type in your questions
If you’d like to make a survey question mandatory, toggle on Required question on the right-hand side. Marking a question as mandatory means that participants must answer it to able to submit the survey.
