New Slido interface feature continuity

Slido’s new interface was designed with ease of use and efficiency at the forefront. The core functionalities (polling and Q&A) are stronger, quicker, and more intuitive than ever. However, this does mean that a few features had to be deprecated. See below for the most up-to-date details about Slido’s feature continuity. In this article:Features returning in the future Features that may return​​​​​​​ Features leaving permanently  Features returning in the future The new interface will become the default for all users on November 7th, 2024 – with the ability to switch to the old interface remaining for some time.

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   Outdated technology: Slido is currently transitioning to a new, more intuitive interface while also being completely revamped on the backend.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

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?
