Hi @Slido Team,

We as a Cisco partner have gotten die infromation in an update call that the feature "Automatic access to a slido for webinar panelists" will be available soon.

It shall give external panelists access to the Q&A to make it easier to them to answer an manage questions during Q&A’s.
I just gave it a try but the external panelist with or without a Webex/Slido account do not get the permission to see the attendee questions.

Is the feature rolled out already and are some more information available? Will even a panelist without a slido account be able to see the questions?

Regards, Rouven

Hi @Rouven—

Thanks for reaching out.

That feature is still in the rollout phase, so it’s not fully available yet. External panelists currently won’t have automatic access to the Q&A, whether they have a Webex or Slido account or not. For the moment, only hosts and cohosts can view and manage attendee questions directly inside Webex.

Once the update is fully released, panelists will be able to access the Q&A without needing a separate Slido login, but we don’t have a confirmed timeline or final behavior for that just yet.

Hope that helps!

All the best,
