Introducing Slido is very important for getting your attendees on board. It encourages them use the tool during your event or meeting.

 

Introduce Slido at the start

 

Let your participants know how to join the conversation by following these three simple steps:

  1. Ask people to open their browsers
  2. Navigate them to slido.com
  3. Tell them to enter the slido code

or they can simply scan the QR code displayed in Present mode to join. 
 

To crowdsource questions before your event or meeting, you can share your slido’s QR code or direct link with your participants. Click the Share button in the upper right corner to see both options.



Tip: Start with a warm-up poll

Run a warm-up poll to give people a reason to join right from the start. It’s helps them get familiar with Slido and use it throughout. From our experience, the most popular type of poll for this purpose is a multiple choice poll with 3 to 5 options. Also, a nice word cloud can make a big impression.

I realized using Slido to newbies on any interactive live-polling tools, that it is important to explain the steps of logging in and navigating is essential. 

 

We did a quiz and you need to enter the event and then additionally need to enter your name.

Also some users were experiencing difficulty switching between Q&A and the quiz.

 

Is there any online video for first-time user who want to access Slido and participate in a quiz for mobile access or desktop access?

Hi @Laleli,

You’re right! A proper introduction is a key to a successful use of Slido 😊

We have this video with quick tips for Slido admins on how to introduce Slido to your audience. 

 

What I’d suggest is to try out a warm-up poll to get people used to where to click and get familiar with the interface before playing a quiz. Some of our users also include screenshots of Slido on mobile in their slide deck to show their audience where to click for Q&A and where to answer polls. 

Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!
