Powerpoint and Slido

Hello,I try to use Slido with Powerpoint.I created a Survey and I’m wondering if there is a possibility that the survey questions are displayed on screen after I open the slide.The only thing I’m able to show is the title iof the survey.Or do I have to show the slide with the survey questions and run Slido from outside Powerpoint (either with Slido Switch or from the Slido admin) ?RegardsPascal

Slido questions reodered themselves during a presentation!?

Had a Slido malfunction during a stakeholder meeting where we were trying to survey people in the room through our PPT that was connected to a laptop and sharing that screen on the projector. The questions I created for the survey were suddenly all out of order as our project manager went through - and some people said they could not even progress past the initial question on their phones. I did a run through with a colleague days before on the ppt using our mobile devices with no issues, questions were in order. And the order mattered.What could’ve caused this? I’ve never had this issue using slido before - we had to quickly switch to an analog solution where I asked the questions and wrote everyone’s answers down on a giant sticky pad. Not ideal.  Thank you in advance.

Issues with Slido for PowerPoint. The presentations suddenly stopped opening

My presentations with Slido are suddenly having problems. They open but when launched, Powerpoint closes again. Up until yesterday, everything was working fine. Then today, nothing. I get a txt file called debug log in the folder where the presentation is located. When I open it, this message appears: [0911/163749.606:WARNING:main_runner.cc(261)] Alloy bootstrap is deprecated and will be removed in ~M127. See https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/3685When the PPT presentation fails to launch, I am asked if I want to open PPT in safe mode. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and what might be an adequate solution?

Zoom Presentation

For the first time I am using Slido for multiple choice questions in a PowerPoint Zoom presentation. How can I verify slido works and attendees can answer the questions before the Zoom presentation? Thank you.

Survey keeps reverting to don't show results

I have a survey that keeps reverting to “Don’t show results”.  How do I fix it?  It’s a select one poll with an open ended poll if they selected Other. I have another survey that combines several select one questions and it displays fine when I’m presenting.

New Slido for PowerPoint update crashing

I just installed the latest Slido for PowerPoint add-in update, and it keeps crashing PowerPoint. If I try to open a file with a Slido presentation added, the PowerPoint boot-up window comes up, then disappears and my file never opens. I can successfully open files without a Slido presentation, at which point the file I unsuccessfully tried to open will show up in the autosave alert column on the left. If I then try to open that autosaved file, it once more crashes PowerPoint. I can open all of my files fine if I disable the Slide add-in.I have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling the Slido add-in, and disabling and re-enabling it. I’m on a PC running Windows 10 Education version.

Switching accounts for a PPT slide deck already created

Hi, I set up a few Slido presentations last year using another account. However, now I need to use my new account and email address - but Slido keeps stating: “This presentation is linked to another Slido account. To edit existing polls or add new ones, please switch to the Slido account connected to this presentation”. This is something that I can’t do now, so I hope you can help. Is there a way to simply transfer my PPT presentations to my new account? I’d hate to have to start all over again!

How to use Slido in the same presentation for different groups at different times.

Hello,I created a slide deck with a Slido poll. I plan on hosting multiple meetings on different days and times. Can I use the same slide deck without losing my poll information or do I need to create different decks for each group?

Slido in Powerpoint insists presentation is linked to other account

Dear Community,I am trying to create a poll in a Powerpoint presentation for work, but there is an exclamation mark by the Slido logo and it says that the presentation is linked to another account. This seems to be a Microsoft ac.uk account I have with a university (where I sit on a committee), but that is not my primary place of work. I am trying to log into Slido with my .ac.uk account so I can log out of it, but it won’t accept my password. I click on ‘forgot password’ but no reset link arrives ( I am checking my spam folder in my Microsoft email account). The Powerpoint is provided for me by my employer on a work laptop, and I can log in and out of Slido at slido.com no problem with my work email (Google), but I cannot shift this association with the Microsoft account or log out of it. Any ideas, please?Thanks,Penny.

Consolidate Multiple Events

I am the cohost of multiple events. I want to consolidate all the slidos into one event. Is there a way to do this other than manually recreating each slide into one event?

Grading Options?

If you wanted to assign a point value for your poll questions or just to a Quiz is there a way to do that so when someone completes a series of questions a percentage out of 100 is received by the presenter?

Slido for PowerPoint Error: "You appear to be offline. Check your internet connection."

I followed steps from video to download add-in. As soon as I open PowerPoint, Slido icon says I’m offline. The error never goes away even if I logout of Slido and back in again. I am most definitely not offline. Has anyone seen this error before? Thanks.

Can I export data from slidos created by free users?

Hello, I would just like to get clarity on my situation. I am currently using the free plan, and invited others to do so, too, as a way to engage participants. They have already created their own slidos using their accounts, and I only requested access for me to help manage them. My question is, if I purchase Engage plan, will I be able to export data from their slidos? Thank you!
