P/point integration - pop up box on a slide rather than a new slide

HelloWe have a large slide deck and have connected Slido to our powerpoint presentation.Some slides have animation so we want Slido to appear in the middle of presenting first part of a slide. Is there a way for Slido to produce a pop up box on the slide rather than add a new slide?Are there any work arounds you could suggest rather than a brand new slide created?

Slido Rooms

How do I switch between multiple rooms in one PowerPoint? We have different cohorts in one large session and so I’ve created rooms for each cohort, but we want them all to respond to the same question and view the results by cohort at the time of the presentation?

Powerpoint crashes when importing Slido-slide

Hello there,Whenever I add a Slido-slide to a ppt, ppt crashes completely and need to restart. The add-in itself works fine in the right bar, I can switch sessions, add/remove/edit interactions as usual, but ppt does not want me to actually add the interaction slide to the presentation and immediately responds with “PowerPoint is not responding” without the option to wait for it to respond, only giving the option to restart. One out of five times, I also get the option to save the presentation before closing, but it is always closing the presentation. Once the slide is in it works flawlessly in presentation mode, but getting the slide in there is an iterative process that can go up towards 20 minutes of constant tries before I am allowed to save the slide to the presentation. I have downloaded the newest version of the ‘Slido ppt add-in’ from the website (4th of June, 2024) and it makes no difference.Any clue of what is going on? I mean.. it works, but it worked as intended previously

Run a quiz but input answers later

Can you please help if a free or paid version of Slido can help with following (I could not find it help center). We want to run a quiz format and have a leaderboard at end, but some challenges below All questions of our quiz to be shown one by one, but without revealing answers. After participants have responded to all questions, we will open each question, have a discussion on it and identify or choose out the correct answer from the audience discussion itself. Now, in this case, We will only come to know about correct answers after all Qs have been voted for and not at the time of framing the quiz. How can we input / select correct answer in the backend quickly and then reflect on the leaderboard with results, but after quiz polling has taken place?

Live poll in slido for Power Point - how to avoid the timer and choose when to end the poll?

I would like to manage the poll from slido for power point, but when i put the slide with the poll (word cloud) after a determined time, the presentation goes to the following slides, even though i don’t touch the mouse to switch the slide. how can I handle this and remove this, that looks like a timer?I would like to stay on the slide with the results of the poll also 5 or 10 minutes in order to comment the results and I don’t want to go to the next slides after few seconds. Many thanksSimona

PowerPoint - using presenter view - slido not showing correctly

I am planning to use Slido for an online training session in PowerPoint.  I have two screens.  My large monitor with my webcam on the top... and my Surface Pro laptop below.  I use presenter mode on the laptop then swap that to my large screen so I can see me notes clearly and have my eyeline near the camera.  The regular slide show for what the participants see remains below on the laptop. All good usually but when I click through to the Slido poll slides the slido presentation only appears in about 2/3rd of the slide.  Anyone know how to rectify this?  I need my presenter notes on the large monitor up top as I can barely see the surface!

free marking?

Hello. I want to convert an activity that my learners currently do on flipcharts (in-person) to Slido, but I don’t think it is possible Does anyone have any ideas?I have a flipchart (or physical whiteboard) with  options (m/c) for them to mark how often they do something…. but it has 2 parts so that they see the results of the 2 (similar) questions side by side. We talk about the disconnect based on this. Another use I have is where I (virtual) display a graph (curve) and the participants annotate where they fall along the curve. Can you do this in some way in Slido (so this can be done in person)?Thanks!Daina

Same slido for multiple presenters in a single educational session

I am running a 1 hour session with 6 speakers. Each will show  their own 10 minute powerpoint presentation. The presentations will not run as a single slide deck. How can I use the same poll (with different questions from each speaker) for all presenters? This way participants in the audience will not not have to keep scanning different codes.

Can I present WITHOUT the Extension?

We will be presenting at a conference soon and the conference will pre-load the presentation on their laptops for my session. Will they need to have the slido extension on their laptop for me to use slido? Can I still present and have all the necessary features (especially live results from questions) work as they should if they do NOT download the extension?

Better layout for open ended questions

We’re considering switching from Menti beacuse of your better google slides integration. However, one thing that is holding me back is the open ended question format. Here Menti allows to show much more on one slide:  Maybe this is something you can add/improve on slido?

Trouble Advancing Past the Slido Slide

Hello, Slido is working great except for one issue. I get to a Slido Slide and wait for it to be populated and that works great, but when I try to advance past the slide it doesn’t do anything. Then when I click a second time, it moves, but goes two slides forward. This is happening on both of my windows laptops. I’m running Windows 10, PowerPoint 2019. Any help would be appreciated..

How does integrating your polling questions into PPT work for multiple users?

If polling questions are integrated into a PPT presentation, how does it work for multiple users/presenters? Do they need to log in to Slido? Do they also need to have the PPT integration app on the laptop they are presenting from? If there are meetings going on at the same time could the presenters be logged in to separate sessions utilizing the same polling questions?

Can I find the raw results of ranked choice surveys?

I’ve run an AGM a for a club, electing a new committee with multiple positions.  I used a ranked choice system assuming the system would calculate in “rounds of voting” and not use a points based system.  Is there a way to find the raw data with the participants initial choices? (Eg. 30 participants ranked choices.)

SLIDO for PPT query for event of selecting a specific space

When trying to insert a poll in PPT via the SLI.DO plugin, you first need to select an event. When you have lots of events this is a long alphabetical list without query or sorting options. Can a simple query be added or a selection based on a specific space? That would reduce the number of events and make inserting polls much easier for large events.
