When I open a PowerPoint file used in a past lecture, the Slido event linked to that file automatically gets activated. For instance, if I use lecture materials from a year ago as reference materials for this year's lecture, the event frequently gets activated. Please advise me on how to avoid this issue.

Hello ​@Tomoya 

I hope I understand what you mean. My assumption is that you are talking about the dates being always rescheduled to the most recent ones. That is by default in case you would actually decide to use Slido and in case the dates would be outdated your participants could have issues logging in. 

As a workaround what could work is removing all the holding Slido slides from your presentation once you finish. Re-opening the same presentation shouldn’t load Slido.

Please let me know if that is not what you mean and share with me more details. 


Thank you for your response. Your understanding is correct. I understand it is necessary to delete all Slido slides from the presentation after the class (presentation ) is completed. 
My question is to avoid this extra step, if possible.
If there is a way to change the default settings so that the validity period does not change automatically, I would appreciate it if you let me know.


Hey ​@Tomoya ,

Thank you for sharing more details on what you’re meaning.

There is not currently a way to do this, but we will submit it as feedback to the team for consideration.

For now, would it be possible to make your Powerpoint presentation without Slido, and then duplicate it so you have a copy of the Presentation without Slido included in it? I understand this is another step in the beginning but would allow you to access the material from your presentation without having Slido there or reactivating a previous Slido.

Let us know if this would work for you.

Best,


Thank you Carly,

I understood it is impossible to change the settings at this time. 
I would be delighted if this feedback led to an update that allows settings to be easily modified. I will also prepare a version of the PowerPoint file without Slido (I might activate it repeatedly because I cannot remember this procedures...😅).

Best regards,

Tomoya
