Welcome

Hi everyone and welcome to Slido Community! My name is Joel and I’m one of the Community Managers. No matter what brought you here, I hope you’ll find everything you wanted and more 🚀 Our team is excited to co-create this space with all of you. We want to encourage all Slido users to collaborate, share knowledge, and network with one another – plus get all the answers they need. To start things off - please introduce yourself in the thread below. Feel free to share a little bit about yourself, where you work, what your role is, etc. 👉 Don’t forget to include how you use (or wish to use) Slido 😉 Let’s get to know one another!

Will we be able to use IDEAs in the same way once we switch to the new interface? I seem to recall having trouble with IDEAs when I tried out the new interface awhile back (which is why I switched back to the old way). If IDEAs are disrupted, this will be a major issue for me because it’s the only thing I use Slido for and it’s a central activity in all of the classes I teach.

We exported the questions for the Q&A but the responses are not there, is that possible to get?

Would I be right in thinking the “Assign Session” functionality has not made it into the new experience yet? Or am I missing something?

I did not delete my poll, quiz but why it’s removed and cannot found in the achieve

Some time ago, we announced that Slido’s host interface would be redesigned to provide a simpler and more intuitive experience. We also shared that a few existing features would be going away as a part of this change. Now that the new interface is set to become permanent for all users on May 27th, 2025 , we wanted to provide a little more context behind our decision making. Deciding to retire a feature is never easy and it’s not something we take lightly. We strive to be as transparent as possible. And although there are numerous factors involved, the impact on our customers is always the most important. See our list of retiring features below. And although decisions have already been made, feel free to share any feedback in the thread. Ideas Polling Sessions Agenda Ideas The Ideas feature has proven to be a great option for crowdsourcing topics and brainstorming together as a team. It was built similar to our Q&A, allowing other participants to upvote and even reply to one another’s i

I wanted to check whether it's possible to add external users or guest email addresses to help manage and collaborate on Slido sessions. At the moment, I'm able to add my colleagues as co-hosts without any issues. However, when I try to add external email addresses, they appear as "guests," and upon receiving the invite, they're prompted to sign in via Webex—without being granted access to manage the session. Is there a specific license or setting required to allow external guests to co-host or manage Slidos? Any clarification on what’s supported under our current setup would be greatly appreciated.

I have created an event 2 weeks ago and added an agenda. I need to go back to it to modify it as it is no longer correct. However, now I cannot accessthis option anymore. When I go in “Feature”, the agenda option is no longer there. I have checked, the participant view does show the agenda in the manu. But on my end, I do not view the agenda anywhere. Any idea what’s happening and how to get unstuck ?

Hello, We have an active slido event that we reuse (we have the QR code printed so delegates can scan it). There is an old agenda stuck when we view the event in participant mode. Is there a way to remove this? Thanks

Hi Slido Team, i'm on an online event with our client and we missed a very important function that we often used before. A change of the interface brings not a solution. Perhaps you can help. We have a moderated Q&A and our people in front of the camera should only see the starred questions - but nobody else in their app. So that the present screen only shows starred questions and everyone else can only see their own question. Thank Sebastian

If you are not using Polls, how do you hide the Poll tab in the audience view? I only want to see Q&A.

Is it still not possible to filter the questions on the present mode/participants mode per labels ?

How come we can still filter by ‘Starred’ in present mode but not by label?

Hello every1, New to slido here..! Wanted to know is it possible to know the mobile numbers or other details of the people who join our slido presentation..?

I can't find any way of doing this on the new website.

Slido’s new host interface was designed to create a simpler, more intuitive experience that allows all users to get the most out of our core features. And after much consideration, we’ve made the decision not to include the ability to disable polling in the new experience. Polling is one of Slido’s core features, designed to foster engagement and interaction. While we explored different options for disabling polls, each approach ultimately created friction within the user experience, which is something we never want. So in order to maintain a seamless experience for everyone, we decided not to reintroduce the functionality. We understand this change may require adjustments for those of you who’ve relied on disabling polling in the past, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience. Rest assured that the core functionalities of Slido are not affected at all by this change. And please know that this decision was made with the long-term quality and simplicity of Slido in mind. Thank you fo

We released the Switcher app in 2017 with the goal of enhancing the presentation experience by allowing seamless switching between Slido and any presentation. Slido Switcher addressed the need for a smooth and uninterrupted way to display polls and Q&A during events – by using another device as a remote control. This innovation aimed to make it easier for presenters to engage with their audience without disrupting the flow of their presentations. With that being said and after careful consideration, we decided to discontinue the Slido Switcher app for the following reasons: Low usage: While we recognize the value it brought to regular users, the Switcher app was one of our lesser-used features. Its functionality is fully covered by our PowerPoint and Google Slides integrations. Outdated technology : Slido has transitioned to a new, more intuitive interface and has been completely revamped on the backend. Continuing to support the Switcher app would go against our commitment to providin

Wondering if anyone has found a workaround now that they have removed the ‘assign session’ option with the new interface? We deal with hundreds of slidos per conference and use that feature to organize them per speaker.. since we trigger the slidos from a master machine it was very helpful from an organization standpoint. Any advice before I cancel my account? We would hate to have to introduce new software.

Moderator’s announcement is currently missing in the new interface and is a great feature : For virtual event with embeded live video : If you have a technical problem, to alert participants. For live meetings : A way to announce what’s comming next, or that the pause is over and it’s time to go back to the conference room.

Hi, we were looking to do a superuser session on poll templates but I can’t find them on the new interface and nothing about them in the help desk regarding new Slido. Is this a feature that has disappeared?
