We use Slido in our educational institution for engaging with our students/audience during online classes, lectures, meetings, events and webinars. We conduct polls and quizzes through Slido to check the understanding of our students during online classes. The students or participants can use the Q&A feature to ask doubts to teachers or hosts making the meetings interactive. Slido also helps us in gathering feedback about an event or webinar we conducted. The learning environment improves a lot when we use Slido since it ensures that the students are attentive in the classes. It eliminates various communication barriers and ensures excellent communication between hosts and participants through polls, Q&As and quizzes.
  • Its integration with various Webex apps like Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars and leading softwares like Zoom and Google Slides
  • Its simple user interface and eye-catching graphics
  • The detailed analytics it provides of the polls and surveys conducted and the ability of exporting them
  • The ability of integrating live video into Slido so participants dont have to switch tabs
  • Participants can ask questions anonymously or with their names without having to unmute themselves and disturbing the flow of the meeting
  • More integration options should be provided to maximize its use case
  • More customisation features and templates should be added for the polls and quizzes
  • More pricing plans should be introduced so we can chose the plan that suits us perfectly and is more cost-effective
Slido is very well suited for educational institutions and large companies where there are a lot of students and employees which makes interactions in meetings cumbersome. It is also suited for companies that require a lot of employee input. Slido, in general, helps in keeping the meetings and events interactive and engaging. Hence, Slido is not suitable for small businesses since collaboration and communication in small business is way easier and Slido is very costly so small businesses may not be able to afford it.

We use Slido to ensure the employees or attendees can actively participate in the on going meetings and presentations by either voting in polls or adding questions to the Q&A so they can be answered at appropriate times during the presenters and this ensures participation and excels the riches of the presentations themselves by providing information that is directly requested by the observers.

  • Great engagement analytics
  • Easy and effective polling
  • Q&A interaction with presenters
  • Lack of live discussions
  • Limited free version
Slido is well suited for meetings or presentations with large amount of attendees as provides a simple and effective way for attendees to interact with the ongoing event by voting in pools or asking questions to the presenters. It is a great way to get analytics about audience engagement and event to encourage it since the interaction can be anonymous so it promotes for everyone to participate.

I use Slido to make meetings more interactive and to get direct feedback from the participants. Slido helps me increase engagement in all kinds of meeting situations. It breaks down barriers by allowing real-time polls, Q&A sessions, and even quizzes. Our use cases include internal meetings, such as our weekly stand-ups or quarterly reviews, where we gather feedback from the staff before the meeting and then address the most upvoted notes. In client presentations, especially in Request for Proposal situations, we conduct Q&A sessions via Slido. Last but not least, I also find it useful in large-scale conferences where I participate.
  • Real Time Polling with large audiences
  • Upvoted Q&A
  • Analytics after events
  • Integrations with i.e. PowerPoint and Google Sheets
  • Easy to use for admins and participants
  • Pricing Model - free version is quite limited and the package prices can be more attractive for SME companies
  • User Interface Complexity - the UX in the backend is good, but sometimes I am confused to find a specific function
  • Real time translation would be great in terms of accessibility
Slido is excellent for Town Hall or internal meetings to gather feedback from the staff. Getting everyone's voice heard can sometimes be challenging, but with Slido, it's at least not a technical issue. In RFI & RFP presentations or Q&As with vendors, Slido serves as a great use case. Since vendors should not be made public to each other, they can ask questions anonymously.

In small team meetings, Slido is sometimes overkill and could stifle the flow of conversation. The same applies to "hands-on" workshops.

We use Slido in all our webinars, community calls, wider meetings. It is used in all the team across the company and help us gathering feedback and input before, during and after every meeting.
  • The Slido overview is very helpful for us to understand the engagement level of our audience during the meeting.
  • The multiple options to get feedback, answers, to interact with the audience (i.e., Live poll, Audience Q&A). The templates library is brilliant!
  • The possibility to answer and ask to questions and provide feedback anonymously.
  • There's no option to edit a response to a live Q&A or Poll.
  • There's no Keynote integration on mac.
  • I love Slido, it is easy to use and integrate, but I'd like to see more customization options.
In our community webinars. We always use Slido before the webinar to engage the audience and during the call to know more about our audience and keep them engaged. But the most important thing for us is at the end of every call, Slido helps us gather feedback about the session, and then we're able to see the actual engagement from our audience (Analytics, Polls insights).
However, it is less appropriate in smaller meetings, as integrating and customizing Slido takes more time than the actual meeting time with a few people.

Slido is used to keep the audience engaged during our meetings and webinars. We also use it for post-event analytics and surveys. It does a great job for us on a regular basis. I appreciate the ease of use that comes with it.
  • Stability
  • Ease of scheduling
  • Analytics
  • Plenty of polls, surveys, question options
  • Would like a unique portal for Webex users without going to Slido main page (you have choose Webex login)
  • More options to embed media
Slido is best for webinars where you need to keep the audience engaged, especially those that are longer. It is not ideal for shorter meetings or those with a few teammates I believe.

I've been using Slido inside my Webex meetings to get attendee feedback or help guide the conversations. But I also used it outside of meetings to gather information from stakeholders for decisions and the direction we need to take. It's been really helpful to get personal feedback since people can choose to answer anonymously or with their names. That way if the information is a critique people can answer more freely. As a Side note, used it for some family events as well. The kids didn't think it was all that interesting until the answers started populating dynamically and they could see their votes counted just like all the rest.
  • gives immediate interactive feedback inside meetings
  • has great downloadable analytics as well as online graphical reports
  • works easily on mobile inside a Webex or independent of a meeting or using Microsoft Teams or Zoom
  • I'd like the QR code to be scanned from INSIDE the app. Why only be able to enter the code? Let us use the camera inside the app to scan and launch Slido
  • a few more fun graphics
You can create and save loadable engagement templates so if you have sales meetings where you ask the same kinds of questions of the attendees, just make it a Slido and load that right from your Webex instance. It's free, why not use it and get people engaged?

Q&A made easy

We were looking for a simple platform for Question and Answer time in our organizations staff meetings.
Slido provided that and has allowed us to moderate and reply easily. The choice of QR code or the event hash tag to connect means 99.9% of people can use it with no trouble at all as most people are familiar with both concepts.
The fact that people can ask questions anonymously is another big plus for the environment we use Slido in.
  • Scheduling events easily
  • QR codes
  • Very stable
  • Post event analytics
  • Webex integration can be a little slow at times
  • Changing between Slido sessions in Webex on the side ribbon can be confusing
We found Slido is great for a number of uses in our organization. In the higher education environment people are often scared to ask questions because they don't want to look or sound silly. Giving people the ability to ask anonymously gets the dialogue flowing pretty quickly most of the time. We have found it useful in the classroom environment but also for professional staff in meetings.

Review from a student

Slido helps us make presentations more interactive by fielding Q&A from large audiences to getting live responses and feedback.
  • Question and answer fielding from large audiences
  • Tracking Attendance
  • Live results
  • Slide pairing
  • Detailed analytics
  • Better ease of use
Slido is very good when presenting for a large audience; however, they are sometimes unnecessary and overkill for smaller forums. It is sometimes better to have closer human-to-human interaction, and it feels like Slido gets rid of that aspect of presentations by making things more anonymized.

  • Soundings
  • Quiz
  • Analytical
According to how it has behaved our study statistics have improved because of the accuracy of doing quizzes at the moment and then being able to share what we have learned, it solves many problems as well as brings other tools such as the Leaderboard which is very good for young people and healthy competition among them.

Get attention with Slido

Slido is used to engage meeting participants, capture feedback, ice breakers, quizzes, and generally keep the audience interested and paying attention. It's helpful to gather information before meetings that can be used to prepare meeting content. We can gather post meeting analytics and reports for follow up with meeting participants.
  • Polling
  • Testing
  • Word clouds
  • Ease of use as integrated app within Webex Meetings
  • Allow for co-host of meeting launch and manage Slido polls
Slido is well suited for any types of meetings, events, trainings, team meetings, etc. Any instances where you need audience interaction would be the best example. It probably would be less used in more formal business meetings.
