Automating the activating of polls (integrated in PPT)

I have embedded several polls in PPT using integrated Slido. Is there a way not to have to manually activate each poll using a separate device while presenting the PPT?

I am using slido in a powerpoint and put the deck in presenter mode to test. The powerpoint shows that the poll is active, however, I cannot scan the QR code and when accessing the poll using slido.com and the code provided, I get the message, “Sorry, there is no slido active right now”. Thank you for your help in advance!

Powerpoint plugin "authorization in progress" times out

Hi there, I’m having trouble logging into Slido through the Powerpoint for windows plugin. I click on the “login” button, it opens a browser (chrome) window, I login through the browser and get a “login success” message on the browser. Meanwhile, the plugin window on Powerpoint shows a spinning circle and “authorization in progress” but after about 10-15 seconds, it returns to the “welcome to slido” login window. Any help on troubleshooting this would be really appreciated.

How do I stop presentations going to full screen when using PPT and presenting through Slido?

How do I stop presentations going to full screen when using PPT and presenting through Slido? When I’m delivering training in Teams (I’m an external trainer), the PPT presentation goes to full screen which means that I can’t see chat or the people in the meeting. How can I stop it doing this?

Word cloud is not showing responses

I have created a Word cloud in PPT but the responses are not showing up as they are submitted. I have to forward the slide and then go back in order for the words to populate. When submitting words on my phone, they occasionally do not populate the Word cloud. I am running the PPT from my desktop. Why is this happening? I have cleared the Word cloud in the app and viewed the settings, but it is still not working properly. Please advise.

New to Slido - Question on presenter mode

Hello. I’ve seen Slido fail during live presentations and I don’t know why. But I figured I’m going to take a leap of faith and try it during two presentations next month. My question … can I still use Mac power point Presenter mode and have the slides work? I like to be able to see my notes if needed when I present. Any other advice for how to utilize the software without it quitting? For example, do all participants need to be on same wifi or can they use a mix of cell data and wifi? Just trying to stack the odds in my favor for this working.

Poll results keep flipping to "hidden" instead of "visible", multiple choice options take up far too much space

Two major issues with Slido for PowerPoint All of my multiple choice polls are set to Visible Immediately and not Hidden (i.e. on click). For no discernable reason these keep randomly changing to Hidden. I have set it on both the Slido website for the poll and within the PowerPoint plugin. Still, it randomly flips back to Hidden. Slido support: This is a bug and it is extremely annoying. The answer option text on multiple choice has way too much unnecessary spacing resulting in options being cut off (requiring scrolling). With a question you can only have three options visible with results.This only happens in 16:9 ratio slides. If you use 4:3 slide ratio, it’s formatted and resized much better, easily shows 5, probably could do 6 or 7 if you had short text. Slido support: this needs to be fixed in 16:9. No reason for all the unnecessary space. My last issue is there is no control over font size or style. Why? Needs to be implemented. The zoom feature on the web-based poll is not possi
