Limitations in Slido for Google Slides

Can you have BOTH Google Slides integration and the Chrome integration installed? I need to clarify which one to use as training for a bunch of people who will be presenting a deck with polls in different cities.

Hey @Back_that_SaaS_Up ,

Google Slides Add-on must be downloaded on any computer being used to create or present the slido.

For seamless presenting, install our extension for Google Chrome along with the add-on.

It is not required but it ensures that your animations, transitions, videos and GIFs all work well when presenting with our Slido for Google Slides add-on.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Best,

Hello. I have questions about setting up Slido polls in Google Slides for others to use in their upcoming talks. 

Is it possible to set up a live Slido poll in a Google Slide deck that I don’t own, but can edit? Or do I have to be the Owner of the presentation?

Is it possible for someone else to present the Google Slide deck with live Slido polls in it that I have set up? If yes, would they also need to have the Slido add-on installed in Google Slides and have a Slido account? Would it be enough if they were just a cohost? 

Thanks for your help with these questions. 

Hello ​@RVaz,

You can create a Google Slides deck and have someone else add add a slido to it. They just need to be an editor of the deck. However, if they add a slido to your GS deck, they need to also invite you as a collaborator to that Slido. Otherwise you won't be able to access it and use it.

Conversely, if you create a GS deck, and add your Slido to it, for someone else to be able to present using that slido, they need collaborator access to the slido, and to the GS deck, both.

Here is an article about how collaboration works in Slido, and how to invite a collaborator.

best regards,

Hello again. Thanks for your help. New question: Is it possible to have four Slido slides in one Google Slides presentation, each showing live results for one of four different polls (three multiple choice and one word cloud)? 

This is precisely what I’m trying to create. The speaker would like to stop at four different points in their presentation to ask a question and show audience responses live—without switching presentations or going to a different window or app. For example, slide 8 shows live results for poll 1, slide 18 shows live results for poll 2, and so on. 

It doesn’t seem to be possible by creating four different individual multiple choice polls (Google Slides warns me that the first “slido” will be removed or swapped out when I attempt to add a second slide for a different poll). Creating a survey and giving it a slide in the Google Slides presentation just scrolls through the results of the survey on a single slide. 

Please let me know if what I’m trying to accomplish is unclear. 

​@RVaz 

You can have a slide per poll within your presentation. So in your instance, you can add different individual multiple choice polls to your presentation and it will create a slido slide for each one. You can also choose where within your presentation you would like to have the poll. 

If you are running into issues with adding your polls to your presentation, please reach out to support@slido.com with screenshots of the message you are seeing and a recording even of the behaviour being experienced and the steps you are taking. Our support team will be able to troubleshoot with you.
