How to load/find a survey in Webex that I created in slido.com

I created a poll/survey in slido.com a few weeks ago. Now I want to load it into a Webex I’ve created. In fact I want to reuse it in several Webex meetings. When I open a Webex meeting, I open Slido and I find no way to find it or load it. I’d expect it to let me enter a Slido code like #125634 or past a URL.So after starting to write this, I found that I could open Slido in Webex and then I found an Advanced Setting button in the side panel. I click on that and a dialog box opens. In that dialog, I hit the back button then click on the hamburger menu and choose Switch Event and then I can find my event. My survey opens in that dialog box. So that is some progress but I’m unsure how I can make that survey appear for the other people attending the webinar.This seems like a convoluted process. The solution to these problems seems so clear and simple.

Deactivate a Slido session

Hello,I would like to deactivate a Slido session linked to a PPT.Indeed, if I wanna use this very PPT with another Slido, I hardly understand how to get to the “switch session” window that I sometimes see in the Slido windows.It seems that the Slido session is litterally stuck to the PPT.How can I “de-stick” them?Thanks.CDR71

Download Poll Results PDF

I have completed a poll in PowerPoint and have gone into analytics tab to download the results in PPT. When I click on the PDF icon, it just continues to clock without downloading. Any thoughts? I have logged off and back as well as restarted my computer. I am using Chrome as the browser so shouldn’t be a browser issue.  Thanks!

Will the new Slido version in Webex include poll sections?

While using Slido in WebEx I get the pop up message “You’re using an outdated view of Slido. We’ll enable the new version for you on Dec 1, 2022.” Will this version be finalized before I get forced off from the old Slido view?I noticed not all features work there, the one I'm mainly concerned about are Agendas. Without Agendas all the questions are cluttered in a random order, which makes it hard to find the right question at the right time.  Another thing that does not work are Surveys. Locking + showing the answers, doesn't actually show participants the correct answer. These are both features that are a MUST in my opinion and I hope they will get addressed before the December update.

PowerPoint add-on only working on 1 out of 3 laptops

Hi, I am trying to use the Slido addon for PowerPoint.On my personal laptop it works fine-- I have regular slides before and after the “polling/Slido slide”, and when I advance to the polling/Slido slide, it properly displays the multiple-choice question I set up. Upon another advance, it displays the results.But on the 2 important laptops, the same process only results in a blank white screen. For a split second it flashes the question, but then goes to the blank white screen.All 3 laptops are on the same Windows 10 Pro (version 10.0.19044 Build 19044), all 3 are on the same version of the power point add-on [v1.5.2.3420 (Support ID a5e10d4e)], all 3 are on the same hard-wired internet connection DHCP (getting around 100 mb/s download + upload speed with 40 ping. Why is it displaying a blank white screen on 2 out of 3 laptops?

QR code and event number missing when presnetation run by another user

Hello, I have created an event and added three slides with open text questions in my powerpoint. When I run it on my system in slide show mode, I can see the QR code and event #, which the participants can use to answer questions.I have shared the powerpoint presentation with my other colleague. However, when she runs the ppt in slide show mode on her system, she is unable to see the QR code or event number on the three slides. What possibly is going wrong here? Thanks for providing guidance.

Looking for confirmation as to where SLIDO slide content is stored when using SLIDO for PowerPoint.  Relatedly, would also be interested in knowing if SLIDO information goes away if my SLIDO license expires.

Customizing PowerPoint slides

Hi, I’m a new user and having real problems working out how I can customize slido question slides in PowerPoint - I just don’t want the standard view to show as it’s really not the look and feel we’re going for. I can see in the community a reference to a ‘hamburger menu’ but I don’t see that & can’t work out any way for me to customize and make the slides look any good at all - really disappointing!

Customizing questions

Hi,On other platforms in the past, I was able to create multiple choice polling questions that I can lay out any way I want, with images, additional text, etc. For example (I teach biology), I would show an image of a cellular structure relevant to the quesiton, or include reference values needed for calculating an answer. I can’t find any way to customize Slido slides in this way…the only customization options are background images and colors. How can I add images and text laid out in a useful/rational manner to the question slides? It’s pretty useless to me without this ability. Thanks!Michael

Scale of PPT presentation slides

This is my first time using Slido.  I’ve integrated into PowerPoint, and entered my questions.  When I go into presenter mode, the content is not scaled correctly, and appears off screen - the QR code takes up half of the visible screen space.  Is there a way to rescale the slides?Thankyou

Enabling voting on a free text poll

Hi there,I am trying to create a poll where a statement/question is made to the participants, and they can then use the free text field to submit their thoughts and answers. Ideally I would then like other participants be able to vote or ‘like’ any answers that they see appear on the screen, so we can then rank the answers.  Is this possible?
