Slido for PowerPoint Error: "You appear to be offline. Check your internet connection."

I followed steps from video to download add-in. As soon as I open PowerPoint, Slido icon says I’m offline. The error never goes away even if I logout of Slido and back in again. I am most definitely not offline. Has anyone seen this error before? Thanks.

Can I export data from slidos created by free users?

Hello, I would just like to get clarity on my situation. I am currently using the free plan, and invited others to do so, too, as a way to engage participants. They have already created their own slidos using their accounts, and I only requested access for me to help manage them. My question is, if I purchase Engage plan, will I be able to export data from their slidos? Thank you!

Using the same multiple choice question twice in the same presentation

If I ask a multiple choice question at the beginning of my ppt presentation and then want to see if people changed their answer after the presentation, can I just copy and paste the original slido polling slide into the end of my presentation or do I need to recreate a new slido multiple choice slide using the same question? For the 2nd use of my question, I do not want to have the responses from the first time I asked it carry over.

Slido with powerpoint

I’ve integrated the use of Slido at various parts of a PowerPoint presentation. Few issues: The icons aren’t appearing on each section (for example trophy for quiz and cloud for word cloud). Also, when presenting the question flashes up for a split second then it automatically moves to the slide showing results. Any help?

Slido powerpoint update not working

I've updated the Slido app and walked through all the steps and it seems like it’s installed the update, but when I re-open Powerpoint Slido keeps referencing that I need to update Slido. My internal IT says it’s not an issue on their side as it’s allowing me to update essentially without being blocked by IT admin rights. Please help!

Surveys

I created a three question survey however, the speaker wants all three questions to appear at once - is that possible? So, once they click the link, visually they would see all three questions...

How do I reveal poll results on PowerPoint for Mac

Does co-host work with multiple presenters managing their own powerpoint decks?

Before I purchase a paid plan, I wanted to clarify how co-host functions. Here is my scenario: Bob purchases a Slido ‘Engage’ plan, invites co-hosts Mike and Sue for a particular slido event. Neither Mike nor Sue need to purchase anything. Mike creates his own powerpoint slides and slido polls, after accepting co-host invite. Sue does the same… builds her own slides and polls, accepts co-host invite. Bob, Mike, and Sue can all present their own powerpoint from their own laptops, all utilizing the same slido code for audience to login. Bob, Mike, and Sue don’t really need to see the other’s presentations, or care about the others’ slido polls. We just want to share the code basically. Is this accurate?

Awards Results

We are planning to use Slido in a PowerPoint presentation for an awards ceremony with the final shortlisted nominees to be voted at the event. How can we either only show the winner? Or remove the % scores, and just show the bar? Basically if someone was to not receive any votes, we don’t want that to appear on screen. Any suggestions?

Adding Q&A from different rooms to PPT

Hello. I am hosting an event which has a variety of sessions, for which I have created separate rooms. When I go to add the Q&A session for each room, it only allows one session. For example, if I add a Q&A slide from one room, it’s fine. But if I go to add another slide from the same event but different rooms, it changes the original one to whichever I choose as the second slide. My goal is to have a single PPT deck that brings up the Q&As from each session on a different slide. Is this possible?

How do I use my own slide/template for a Slido question rather than the Slido white background?

I have a Slido question in my presentation. The slide background is white when in presentation mode although I have formatted the slide. How can I use my own formatting?

Can I split a quiz between two or more powerpoints?

I have a long quiz slido and I want to know if is possible to split the questions in consecutive powerpoints that belong to one unique training content. So, I want to keep people engaged in the competition through the training and I want to have a unique final leaderboard with the winners and a unique analytics. Is it possible? If the training lasts 3 days, can I have the same slido shared in these powepoints and still run the same competition? Is there some considerations to work like that? Thank you in advance.

Slido Spaces in PowerPoint

Hello, I am a member of multiple spaces. When in a PowerPoint presentation, how do I switch into the desired space in order to populate the PowerPoint presentation with the correct set of polling questions? In other words, I’m trying to set up my PowerPoint but am currently “trapped” in a space I don’t want to be in. How to I switch to a different space? I’ve logged out of the PowerPoint and Slido. Then, logged back into Slido and re-opended the PowerPoint. Again, the PowerPoint populated with polls from the wrong space. Thanks!

Device limit on Slido Power Point Plugin

Is there limit of how many devices you can install the slido power-point plugin? For example, If you purchase the Engage license which comes with one member, are you restricted to installing the power point plug-in to a single device, or you can install the plugin to as many devices as you need. Thanks for your time in advance.
