Is it possible to use Slido for a non-live event?

Is it possible to use Slido outside of a live event? I am interested in sharing documents with my audience then then having them respond with polls, questions and more, but over the space of several days on their own time, not just immediately in a meeting.  Is this possible? Thanks so much for any guidance.

How do you run a quiz so that people can go through questions at their own pace?

Dear Slido Developers,I have created some quizzes with Slido and would like to share them via a link. However, I do not have this possibility, when I click on the three dots for the settings. How can I share my quiz with the students? If I am not mistaken, last week I was able to do so, when I was playing with my first quiz.Many thanks in advance!

Managing Slido polls with regards to broadcast delay/latency

I was hoping to use Slido with Vimeo LiveStream. There will be approximately a 20sec delay between the live feed, and the broadcast feed.  If I am watching the broadcast feed, I should be able to launch questions/polls in time with the feed. Has anyone done this sort of thing?

How to organize multiple events into one event or folder?

Hi Everyone, At my work I train new hires for different types of positions. Is there a way to organize events into folders or something similar to keep them organized when needing to create multiple events for 1 “training event”. For example I have a set of events for customer support training, and a set of different events for back office processing training and my main dashboard page is looking a little hectic.

How long can you keep Q&A active?

Dear Slido community, I would like to know how long can you keep a Q&A and poll active with a free account. I would like to reuse the same link/event for some time (maybe some months). Is that possible with a free account? I read about the permanent link but not sure if I understood. Also, when I try to change the end date of the event, it’s not possible to be longer than one week. Thank you in advance! Best, Jacinto
