Introducing Slido is very important for getting your attendees on board and having them use the tool during your event. Introduce Slido at the start Let your participants know how to join the conversation by following these three simple steps:Ask people to open their browsers Navigate them to slido.com Tell them to enter the #eventcode of your eventor they can simply scan the QR code displayed in Present mode to join.  For the interaction before the event, you can also share the QR code or direct link to your event with your participants. Click the Share button in your event's Admin to get the link.Tip: Start with a warm-up pollRun a warm-up poll to give people a reason to join right from the start. It’s a great way to help them get familiar with Slido and use it for the rest of the event. From our experience, the most popular type of poll for this purpose is a multiple choice poll with 3 to 5 options. Also, a nice word cloud can make a big impression.Need an inspiration for a warm-up poll?
