Remote and hybrid meetings are here to stay, but let's face it: a video call can't compete with spontaneous water cooler conversations or coffee break chats that we enjoyed face-to-face. Yet, these social interactions are more important than ever to retain team cohesion, battle loneliness, and keep the team spirit high. We hosted a webinar Virtual Icebreakers: Bring your team meetings to life , full of tips on how to make remote team meetings more engaging and how to create ways that will help your team naturally bond. Here are our top ones on how to use ice-breakers to: 1. Know your colleagues better Guess whose desk: Collect pictures from your colleagues of their desks at home and add them into Slido multiple choice polls with a question: “Can you guess whose desk this is?” and give several options. 2. Spark fun & creativity Home treasure hunt: Give your teammates a little task such as: “You have 25 seconds to fetch something yellow,” or “Get the newest thing in your apartment, then

Can you save and retrieve a partially answered survey? If not how do you mitigate against that

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.

Hello everyone, I thought I’d share a creative solution our team uses to integrate Slido into a live broadcasting environment, along with some suggestions for future feature development. For context: Microsoft Teams and Zoom are excellent tools for collaborative meetings but fall short when it comes to broadcasting. Our team hosts hour-long live video training sessions that include participant interaction and a Q&A segment afterward. Privacy is crucial for our audience, which makes Slido such a great fit. In the work we do, most participants prefer not to share their camera feed but still want to interact with the facilitator live on screen. One major issue with video conferencing tools is that they compress video quality to reduce the processing load of multiple video feeds. When delivering a live event, providing the best possible visuals is essential for creating an engaging audience experience. By opting for one-way video broadcasting through platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Castr, o

We are hosting a virtual costume contest and want attendees to vote for each of their favorite categories during the team call. What recommendations do you have to pull this off successfully? There are 5 categories for voting, including best overall. It is also impossible for us to pre-load a survey or multiple choices with names and/or voting options as the costumes will be revealed and need to be written in real-time. We are also expecting 25+ attendees, so pre-populating a multiple choice with expected names won’t be feasible. Is there a template for this use case? I am new to Slido and have currently set it up as multiple polls with word clouds, each integrated into the meeting PPT. The tutorial videos indicate the more popular words will be larger, but we prefer to see actual voting numbers (if even only me and a meeting collaborator). I am not finding how best to tabulate such results for the open text words, nor how best to export the outcomes for each poll question. Thank you!

Good morning, I have a question. I wanted to know if I upgrade my profile to an Engage program and I invite people to join my slido, will they also have access to my upgrade while editing? Thank you for your answer !

I am attempting to configure participant SSO via Okta. I already have Member SSO in place however, the documentation is suggesting that in order for participants to log in and ask questions they must use the separate integration. There is no pre-built Okta integration for Participants so I’d like to know what I need to enter for the following: Single sign-on URL Audience URI (SP Entity ID) Secondary to the above question, is there an option to leverage the existing IDP connection used for Members to allow participant login?

Hi everyone, Is there an easy way to reset my poll responses or results? I’d like to test my slido out to make sure I understand what I’m doing, but I want to know that I can start fresh again. I’m worried that I’ll have my testing responses there and won’t be able to remove them. Is this possible?

Hi, is it possible to link the next question with the answer given to the previous one? For example: Choose your favourite colour: red blue Depending on what the person choses a follow up question appears. For example, if someone chose 1. red, the next question is: 2. Please list 3 red vegetables. I hope that makes sense. Thanks, Magda

I’ve been using Slido for in-person events for the last 1.5 years and I’ve used a few times for webinars. We’re shifting our approach to webinars to make them more interactive. In fact, they’re less webinar and much more of an engagement experience. That said, getting engagement can be hard even with in-person events (I know personally). We use ice-breakers to get folks familiar with Slido and that has worked well. Here’s our use case: We have an experience with 3 different challenges and wanted responses on a 2-3 questions for each challenge. Would 3x3 = 9 types of questions be too much in a 45 minute span? Does integration with Zoom work better when sharing slides? What’s the max number of questions or polling you’ve done in a 45 min online event with 100 people? This is with “prospect customers”, not an internal company event, so the stakes for a smooth execution are much higher. I’ll happily share what we end up doing and the results. Thanks, Peter

Please can someone help by giving instructions on how you can transfer current events from one Slido account to another? My company has recently purchased a new professional account with Slido whilst we had a shared account with another department that had deferred back to a basic account and I want to avoid having to create the events again in the new account. Is this something that can be done?

Use Slido to help your team brainstorm their strategy, identify projects for the next quarter, or crowdsource the agenda for an upcoming event or conference. You can even allow them to submit their ideas or suggestions into Slido in advance. This allows you to use your valuable meeting time for a productive discussion – instead of simply collecting input. In this guide, you will learn how to use Slido to make your brainstorming sessions more effective, regardless of whether your team is remote or in the room. Common challenges Fear of rejection Lack of productivity Difficulty facilitating How Slido can help Enable team confidence Productive brainstorming Easier to facilitate Polls and templates Open text poll Ranking poll Common challenges Fear of rejection Social anxiety: Often meeting attendees worry about what others might think about their idea so they either choose to conform or remain silent. Power dynamics: A few assertive individuals can dominate the discussion, whereas quiet t

How can I predefine the suggested list of phrases for the Word Cloud poll type? For example, I want to ask the audience to tell me the names of brands they use to gather logs. And I already provided them a short list of most popular ones like: ElasticSearch, Grafana Loki, StatsD, Datadog, New Relic. So, via the poll I want the audience to not only choose brands that they use now, but also type new brands that are not listed yet. So the “Multiple Choice” poll type doesn’t suit because they can’t add new options there. The “Word Cloud” poll suite more, but I can’t predefine the list of suggested options, so people will type something like “Elastic” + “ElasticSearch” + “Elastic Search” + “Elastic Stack” + “ELK” and we will got a lot of duplicates. So, could you please extend the “Word Cloud” poll configuration to allow adding predefined suggested options, with keeping the ability to add new custom strings?

Hello, Im running a conference that is happening over 6 days with panel discussions happening back to back. Will a single event license be able to cover these requirements? There will be 18 different panels, none of which are happening concurrently. Do advise? Thanks.
