I plan to use Slido in a live meeting session that will include display of various Slido elements and outcomes. Some will be included in powerpoint, while others will be impromptu. What are some of the tips and tricks for new Slido administrators to use to ensure a smooth meeting experience between live presentation content, Slido elements and displaying results to that same live audience? Do you use multiple computers or displays? How do you ensure projection of intended Slido information and not administrative content / screens? Assume that the projected Slido content will come from a laptop hooked up to projection via HDMI. I’m concerned that when the admin selects ‘present’, the screen control changes on the host laptop so administration functions are no longer available. I’m concerned about ‘administration’ and ‘presentation’ from a single laptop isn’t clean as I don’t want the audience to see administration items and content.
Hi
I would recommend using our presentation integrations - these allow you to put Slido interactions in specific places of your presentation. Then when you present, you only need to click next to get to Slido and activate a specific poll. You can learn more about the PowerPoint integration and Google slides integration in the attached links.
When it comes to presenting and how you mentioned making sure the right thing is displayed on the correct screen, Slido is displayed by default on the secondary screen. We recommend ideally testing your set up quickly before you present, but in general just make sure the presenting screen is labeled as secondary in your computer settings. And this way you can absolutely use Slido with just one computer connected to 2 monitors - many of our clients do so.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Lucia
