Do you have our mobile app installed on your phone? Here’s the important news: we’ll be sunsetting Slido’s mobile apps for iOS and Android on March 30, 2026. Don’t worry, as a participant, you can still interact with polls and ask questions in Slido through your desktop or mobile browser and video conferencing platforms. Our goal with the mobile app was to give you another easy way to join Slido. Since less than 0,1% participants use it now, we’ve decided to focus our resources on improvements that align with our vision and better serve our users in the long run. What’s happening next?In January, anyone accessing Slido via mobile app will see an in-app notification about this change. We’ll also remove the app from app stores at that time, so it won’t be available for new downloads. If you already have the app installed, you can continue using it on your device until March 30. After that, the mobile Slido participant app will no longer be available or supported. It will appear as “Disc
Slido can help create Quizzes faster by suggesting (im)plausible options Suggestions for your Quiz questionApr 1st 2021For your next Quiz, Slido can help you find potential options for your questions. The suggestions are just one click away and you can finish the preparation of the Quiz much quicker. Creating a good Quiz is a time-consuming job. Even when you come up with a good question and the correct answer, searching for the incorrect options can be very demanding. With the help of a Text Generation model, we are able to suggest options for your Quiz questions. While they can be generated using just the Quiz question, they will immediately improve once you provide the correct or incorrect answer(s). The model has been trained on public Slido Quizzes. “Our goal is to save your precious time while creating the Quiz and possibly also increase the fun element of it.” (Peter, Product Manager) All you have to do is to type in your Quiz question. The suggestions will be displayed once yo

We're announcing today that we'll be turning off our Slack integration on November 30th. Two years ago, we launched our Slack app to make it easier for our users to collect questions without the need to leave Slack.I know that for some of you, the news may come as a surprise. Let me share how we came to this decision and what might come next. 🌇 Why we’re sunsetting our Slack integrationWith this integration, we wanted to bring Slido closer to where you work. Despite our best efforts, it missed the mark in a few ways:The feature enables users only to collect questions or ideas. If they want team members to upvote them, they have to leave Slack and do it in a browser. With the current integration, users can't create and share polls in Slack.To address these limitations and bring Slido to Slack in a way it deserves, we need to rethink our approach and build it from the ground up. 👀 What's nextFirst, I want to thank you for having been on this journey with us and for sharing all the comm

We released the Switcher app in 2017 with the goal of enhancing the presentation experience by allowing seamless switching between Slido and any presentation. Slido Switcher addressed the need for a smooth and uninterrupted way to display polls and Q&A during events – by using another device as a remote control. This innovation aimed to make it easier for presenters to engage with their audience without disrupting the flow of their presentations. With that being said and after careful consideration, we decided to discontinue the Slido Switcher app for the following reasons:Low usage: While we recognize the value it brought to regular users, the Switcher app was one of our lesser-used features. Its functionality is fully covered by our PowerPoint and Google Slides integrations. Outdated technology: Slido has transitioned to a new, more intuitive interface and has been completely revamped on the backend. Continuing to support the Switcher app would go against our commitment to prov
