Editors in your Google Slides presentation now get access to your Slido automatically. If they have our Slido for Google Slides add-on installed and log in, they immediately become guests in your Slido which allows them to create polls and Q&A.
In this article:
💡 Automatic access works only for Editors. Viewers or Commenters can’t see Slido in your presentation.
We also recommend installing our Chrome extension too. It can recognize if a presentation is using Slido and proactively invites Editors to collaborate.
Check who has guest access to your Slido
To see who is a guest in your Slido, you can:
- Open the Slido sidebar
- Go to Settings
- Select Sharing Settings and see how many people have joined

Disable automatic access sharing
If needed, you can also switch off this automatic feature and invite people as guests on-demand by adding their emails. This is also useful if you want to invite someone to collaborate on your Slido if they’re not an Editor in your presentation.
- Open the Slido sidebar
- Go to Settings
- Select Sharing Settings and switch to Invite only

It is currently not possible to unlink a Slido event from the Google Slides presentation, but you can reuse the event or add a new session to your presentation.
