The wait is over…brainstorming with your teams just got easier, more productive and more efficient.

 

No more sorting through messy notes and trying to organize a way forward after a meeting. The new Slido Ideas feature does all the heavy lifting for you. It’s a brand new poll type designed to help teams brainstorm, organize and prioritize ideas in real time.
 

 

What is “Slido Ideas”?

 

Slido Ideas is a new interactive poll type where participants can:

  • Submit their own ideas
  • React to ideas from others using emojis 👍 👏 đź’ˇ đź’š 🔥
  • Easily identify what resonates most with the group


Hosts can then use AI-powered categorization to automatically group similar ideas into clear categories, making it easier to focus the discussion and move from brainstorming to decision-making...faster than ever.

Why teams will love it

 

Traditional brainstorming can quickly become overwhelming, especially in larger or hybrid meetings. Slido Ideas helps simplify the process so your team can focus on the conversation, not the manual work.

 

With Slido Ideas, you can:

  • đź’ˇ Give everyone a voice
    Participants can contribute ideas in real time, helping quieter team members share their thoughts too.
     
  • 👍 See what resonates instantly
    Emoji reactions help the best ideas rise to the top naturally.
     
  • 🤖 Let AI do the organizing
    Automatically group related ideas into categories with just one click.
     
  • ⚡ Move from ideas to actions faster
    Spend less time sorting feedback and more time discussing next steps.

 

Perfect for:

  • Team retrospectives
  • Workshops and brainstorming sessions
  • Strategic planning
  • Project kick-offs
  • Training and facilitation sessions


Whether you’re collecting feedback, aligning on priorities or generating new ideas, Slido Ideas helps keep the conversation structured, collaborative and easy to follow.

Hi - I’m not seeing “Ideas” from the list of poll types I can add - I’m in a Professional Plan in the Slido Host mode. Can you please advise?

FYI after submitting my question through the contact us form, I was advised that the “Ideas” poll type is no longer available.

Hello ​@JessicaR and ​@William Imbrogna 

Apologies for any incorrect information provided by our AI chatbot assistants or support teams. The Ideas feature has been previously deprecated, but is now coming back, as mentioned on our Product News page. 

The rollout of Slido Ideas began in early May and will gradually become available across all plans throughout June. Currently it is available for Basic, Engage and Professional plans and will be introduced to Enterprise, Webex and Institution plans soon. 

Thank you so much for your patience.

Kindly,
