Set up and run Slido during your webinar
You can prepare your slido in advance at slido.com. Just select Log in with Webex, enter your Webex credentials, and create your slido.
Alternatively, you can set everything up on the day of the event directly in Webex:

Once you’re in, create your polls or turn on Q&A moderation if preferred.
Your participants will be able to interact with Slido directly in the sidebar once you open it via Apps.
Please note that the Apps button and Slido are not available in webinar practice session. It will appear once you’re live.
For more specifics on creating and adding Slido polls to Webex, please see our detailed guide.
Have a co-host help you manage polls and Q&A
To help you activate polls and moderate submitted questions, you can add a co-host to Slido. Co-hosts need to have a panelist role in Webex Webinars to be able to see Apps.
As the Webex webinar host, you should be the first one to open Slido via Apps > Slido during the webinar. Co-hosts also need to open Slido via Apps > Slido in order to to help with polls and Q&A.
If you are using our PowerPoint or Google Slides integration for your Webinar, please make sure you’re logged in and using the same slido in both Webex and PowerPoint or Google Slides.
