If you want to know who asked a question or voted in the poll, you can simply enable the option of requiring the name when they join the event. In case you are interested only in the names of participants voting in polls, you can ask for their credentials via a Survey. Alongside this, you can also set it to require the participants' email.
Available in our Engage plan and higher. More information on how privacy updates will affect your Slido plan is included in our Participant Privacy article.
To see who got the most questions right in a quiz, there's no need to set anything up. Participants are always asked to add their names automatically. Learn more about how to Run a quiz via Slido.

Ask for a name and email via Settings
To enable capturing names and emails, follow these simple steps:
- Go to Settings
- Select Privacy on the left
- Click the toggle to turn on Require authentication
- Toggle on Require name and/or Require email
This is how it works for your participants. They can still choose to vote and submit questions anonymously. Ask them out loud not to use the anonymous option, if you really need to capture their names. You can also prevent them to send anonymous votes and questions by changing the Privacy settings to always require name. This option is available in Professional and higher plans.
Info for your participants: If some participant tries to join an event multiple times with the same email address, we’ll send them a verification email to confirm their identity. This is in order to prevent cases of email or identity abuse.
You can see the names both next to submitted questions and in your exports.
Once the event is finished, go to event Analytics and export the polls per user results.

This is how your participants will see it:
