Query Regarding External Guest Access and Co-Hosting in Slido

I wanted to check whether it's possible to add external users or guest email addresses to help manage and collaborate on Slido sessions.At the moment, I'm able to add my colleagues as co-hosts without any issues. However, when I try to add external email addresses, they appear as "guests," and upon receiving the invite, they're prompted to sign in via Webex—without being granted access to manage the session.Is there a specific license or setting required to allow external guests to co-host or manage Slidos? Any clarification on what’s supported under our current setup would be greatly appreciated.

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 ?

Old agenda stuck

Hello,We have an active slido event that we reuse (we have the QR code printed so delegates can scan it). There is an old agenda stuck when we view the event in participant mode. Is there a way to remove this? Thanks

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

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?

An update on disabling polling in Slido's new interface

Slido’s new host interface was designed to create a simpler, more intuitive experience that allows all users to get the most out of our core features. And after much consideration, we’ve made the decision not to include the ability to disable polling in the new experience. Polling is one of Slido’s core features, designed to foster engagement and interaction. While we explored different options for disabling polls, each approach ultimately created friction within the user experience, which is something we never want. So in order to maintain a seamless experience for everyone, we decided not to reintroduce the functionality. We understand this change may require adjustments for those of you who’ve relied on disabling polling in the past, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience. Rest assured that the core functionalities of Slido are not affected at all by this change. And please know that this decision was made with the long-term quality and simplicity of Slido in mind. Thank you fo

Slido's Switcher app was sunsetted 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 – by 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 that being said and after careful consideration, we decided to discontinue the Slido Switcher app for the following reasons:Low usage: While we recognize the value it brought to regular users, the Switcher app was one of our lesser-used features. Its functionality is fully covered by our PowerPoint and Google Slides integrations.   Outdated technology: Slido has transitioned to a new, more intuitive interface and has been completely revamped on the backend. Continuing to support the Switcher app would go against our commitment to prov

Assigning sessions with new slido interface

Wondering if anyone has found a workaround now that they have removed the ‘assign session’ option with the new interface? We deal with hundreds of slidos per conference and use that feature to organize them per speaker.. since we trigger the slidos from a master machine it was very helpful from an organization standpoint. Any advice before I cancel my account? We would hate to have to introduce new software.

Missing moderator announcement?

Moderator’s announcement is currently missing in the new interface and is a great feature :For virtual event with embeded live video : If you have a technical problem, to alert participants. For live meetings : A way to announce what’s comming next, or that the pause is over and it’s time to go back to the conference room.

3 Slido features being retired with Slido's old interface

Some time ago, we announced that Slido’s host interface would be redesigned to provide a simpler and more intuitive experience. We also shared that a few existing features would be going away as a part of this change. Now that the new interface is set to become permanent for all users on May 27th, 2025, we wanted to provide a little more context behind our decision making.  Deciding to retire a feature is never easy and it’s not something we take lightly. We strive to be as transparent as possible. And although there are numerous factors involved, the impact on our customers is always the most important.  See our list of retiring features below. And although decisions have already been made, feel free to share any feedback in the thread. Ideas Polling Sessions Agenda  Ideas The Ideas feature has proven to be a great option for crowdsourcing topics and brainstorming together as a team. It was built similar to our Q&A, allowing other participants to upvote and even reply to one anoth
