Hello!
I am a new Slido user. I am looking to integrate a poll with a presentation created by a colleague - when I try and log in from my account it says that the presentation is linked with someone else’s account (my colleague’s). How do I get it to switch over to using my Slido account? Thanks! Helena

Hi
To be able to add polls to your colleague’s presentation, your colleague will need to add you to the Slido event as a collaborator.
It is not letting you add polls to the presentation because you do not have access to the event linked to the presentation. After your colleague has given you guest access, you should be able to log in in PowerPoint and add polls.
Alternatively, you can switch accounts or remove the current slido session.
Here’s how it works:
If someone is logged into a different account than the one linked to the slido in the presentation (or doesn’t have access to it), you’ll see three options:
By selecting “Remove slido session” and confirming the action, all Slido placeholder slides will be deleted from the presentation.
Hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any further questions!

I have used a power point presentation with slido for a past presentation. How do I access it again to use it for another presentation?
Thanks,

Hi
If you’re trying to install the Slido integration again, you can follow the steps in this article. However, if you already have this installed then I assume you are trying to find a previous event that you’d like to link to a new PowerPoint presentation.
To do this, simply open the Slido sidebar by clicking the Slido icon in the PowerPoint ribbon. You should see a list of your previous events. Just select which one you want to use, and this will link it.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Hey
Could you please log in at www.slido.com and see if your slido is there? If it is there, you can just duplicate the slido, start a new presentation and connect the new slido to the deck.
If you cannot find the slido, please reach out to our customer care team at support@slido.com.
Hope this helps! :)
