Collaborate on Slido in your Google Slides presentation

Editors in your Google Slides presentation gain access to your slido automatically. If they have our Slido for Google Slides add-on installed and log in, they immediately become co-hosts in your slido – which allows them to create/edit polls and manage Q&A.

 

In this article: 

 

Automatic access only works for Editors. Viewers or Commenters cannot see Slido in your presentation.

 

We also recommend installing our Chrome extension too. It can recognize if a presentation is using Slido and proactively invites Editors to collaborate.


 

Check who has co-host access to your slido

 

 To see who is a co-host in your slido:

  1. Open the Slido sidebar and click on the hamburger menu
  2. Select Sharing Settings and see a list of co-hosts

Disable automatic access sharing

 

If needed, you can also switch off this automatic feature and invite people as co-hosts on-demand by adding their emails. This is also useful if you want to invite someone to collaborate on your slido, but they’re not an Editor in your presentation.

  1. Open the Slido sidebar and click on the hamburger menu
  2. Select Sharing Settings 
  3. Click where it says Automatic access and switch to Invite only

After switching to Invite only, you can invite your co-hosts directly from the sidebar.

What if someone doesn’t have proper access to the slido?

 

If someone does not have host or co-host access to the slido, they will see a No access message in the sidebar. From here they can switch accounts or request access from the slido’s owner.
