Assign polls to a session / new experience

Would I be right in thinking the “Assign Session” functionality has not made it into the new experience yet? Or am I missing something?

Slido's Switcher app will be sunsetting in January 2025

We released the Switcher app in 2017 with the goal of enhancing the presentation experience by allowing seamless switching between Slido and any presentation. Slido Switcher addressed the need for a smooth and uninterrupted way to display polls and Q&A during events, using another device as a remote control. This innovation aimed to make it easier for presenters to engage with their audience without disrupting the flow of their presentations. With all that being said and after careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue the Slido Switcher app for the following reasons:Low usage: While we recognize the value it brings to regular users, the Switcher app is one of our lesser-used features. Its functionality is already fully covered by our PowerPoint and Google Slides integrations.   Outdated technology: Slido is currently transitioning to a new, more intuitive interface while also being completely revamped on the backend. Continuing to support the Switcher app would go again

Can I still assign sessions for admin purposes in the new interface?

I’ve got up to 10 sessions per room in my agenda next week. Can I still assign sessions in each room for admin purposes in the new interface? It would really help my room managers to understand what’s up next.

Missing star function

Hi Slido Team,i'm on an online event with our client and we missed a very important function that we often used before. A change of the interface brings not a solution. Perhaps you can help.We have a moderated Q&A and our people in front of the camera should only see the starred questions - but nobody else in their app. So that the present screen only shows starred questions and everyone else can only see their own question. Thank Sebastian

Impossible to go back to the agenda to modify it

I have created an event 2 weeks ago and added an agenda. I need to go back to it to modify it as it is no longer correct. However, now I cannot accessthis option anymore. When I go in “Feature”, the agenda option is no longer there. I have checked, the participant view does show the agenda in the manu. But on my end, I do not view the agenda anywhere. Any idea what’s happening and how to get unstuck ?

Suggestions for replacing Ideas?

Do you have any suggestions in the absence of the ideas feature?  I find the ideas plus upvote feature invaluable to get multiple points of view.  I do use the Q&A feature as a hack, but people still input questions rather than ideas!  Are there any upvote features within the polls?

Delete or reset multiple polls

Hey team - can I reset or delete more than one poll at a time in the new Slido interface? Sometimes I want to delete multiple polls or reset a few of the interactions. I used to do this with ease in the old Slido, but can’t find where to do it in the new interface. Am I missing something? Or is that completely gone? Can I do any bulk actions with polls?
