With what's going on in todays world we are looking to use Slido at the firehouse as a mechanism for everyone to vote for the officers in the annual company meeting. However I’m trying to figure out a way, if someone can enter their name so I can verify who is voting. For company meetings we only allow full active members to participate in votes. for an example probationary members would be in the meeting just not allowed to vote. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @Harrison36LVFD,

With our paid plans, it is possible to ask participants to enter their names when joining the slido. Once the meeting is over, you can export poll results per participant and see who’s voted (and how). That said, I believe that for your use case this isn’t an ideal solution as it seems that you’d need that information in real-time and not post-meeting. 

With Slido, once someone joins, they’re able to freely interact - it isn’t possible to limit some people from voting while others not. One other possible solution is to protect the slido with a passcode (also available with our paid plans) and only share it with the people who are allowed to vote (or create a separate slido for them dedicated only to voting). 

I hope this helps at least a bit. Feel free also to check our Pricing page, if interested.

Best wishes,

Adam

Hi There,

If i turn on the registration for the slido to include the email and name of the participant, how can i see this as a live updated list so that i know we have an audience that’s enrolled?

Hi @Darren E Cowley 

If you would like to see the participants entering your slido live the best way would be run na survey. 

Once your participants enter, you’ll be able to see in real time as they submit their e-mails and name. A short survey with two questions something like this. 

While the registration is setup before your participants enter, you’ll be able to see their inputs only after exporting the results. It won’t work if you want to have an updated live list. 

Let me know what you think about the suggested option. 

Hi @Francesca yes that’s pretty much what we do now, but it’s a repeat of what they’ve already entered to log in as the first log in has validation on email etc and is reported on separately so is much more useful.

It’d be a awesome feature to give hosts a live updated list of who had logged onto a session just like Kahoot does, that way we would know when to progress! 

Cheers

Hi @Darren E Cowley, 

Gotcha! Thanks for sharing. 

Totally understand how such a feature would be helpful.

Nothing more I can do at the moment, but happily passing on your feedback to our product team!

If anything else comes up that you find is missing in Slido, let us know. We gather all feedback and insights from our users. 

Thank you!

Francesca 

it is possible to associate a predefined category to each participant in a vote

each participant should indicate the category they belong. 

I need to filter the results by single category

Thanks

Hi @ilmarna,

You could run a multiple choice poll with the categories as the options and then run your other polls. When you’ve finished collecting responses, you would need to export ‘Poll results per participant’. This connects individual participants’ responses across all polls and you could filter their responses from other polls based on their response in the multiple choice poll within the exported Excel sheet. 

Hope this helps :)

Thank you Meggie!!!

Hello, I have tried the first method there, but enabling the require authentication > basic > require name, but it is unfortunately to no avail.

I tried it myself and asked my friends to fill their names before submitting their responses, and when I extracted the results, the responses still showed anonymous. :(

Hi @Ded, 

I’m sorry to hear your having trouble. For us to take a closer look, could you reach out to support@slido.com ? 

They will be able to dig deeper here. 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hello,

I have set up my slido to collect names and emails but unfortunately I can not see the names or emails in results. Where can I see this information without exporting?

Hello @Lilian,

for the polls the names and e-mails can be reviewed only via exporting of the data as there is not much space in the present view to see every name/e-mail for each vote.

Do you have any specific use-case why you would need to see the names and e-mails live? 

Hi,

I use Slido in Webex and would like to see names of the voters in the poll results. I have them for the “Open Text” answer, but not for the Multiple choice, etc. I know I can export the results into Excel to see it, but it would be very helpful to see it when I hover the answer in the results on the website.

Thank you

Hey @vaclavbrunnhofer,

Thank you for your suggestion, we will mark it as a product request. 

For now we do not have such an option.

In case you’d need anything else, please let us know. We’re happy to help!

Hello! I'm planning to use Slido for a presentation to potential customers next week. I want them to fill their name and e-mail ID and reply to a multiple choice poll, that I can show during the presentation.

Later I want to be able to see their name and e-mail address along with their reply, so I can contact them individually with more suitable information.

If I understand correctly, this is what the export function does? Please confirm that everything I want to do is possible on the "Engage" plan, since I'm planning to buy.

Thank you!

I set my slido up to require email authentication, and then launched it as a zoom app. My participants were able to join in guest mode, and were not prompted to add their email address, and my joined participants report lists their email as “anonymous”. How can I make it so that it collects emails through zoom, as I’ve followed all the instructions in this article but it appears to not have worked? We are on the professional plan. 

Hey ​@DrAnnaVega ,

This is possible! You can Require Name and Email for your participants once they enter your Slido.

Then you can export the “Poll results per user” and it will share all responses from each person and what their response was. 

Your participants will have the option to respond anonymously, and in the case that they do you will not be able to identify the response at all. Forcing only named responses is a feature available in our Professional or Enterprise Plans.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Hey ​@DrAnnaVega ,

From within the Zoom integration, we do not collect email, we only take the name with which your participants input into the meeting when they’re joining the call. This name will be displayed when they respond to Polls and Q&A if they choose to submit with their name, if they choose anonymous then we will not know who that is.

The Require Name and Email setting will only apply to those that join Slido from outside the integration (browser or phone).

Let us know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

Best,
