Make your meetings and webinars lively and interactive with Slido's polling and Q&A features
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

Make meetings more interactive
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

With Slido we have more interaction during our meetings
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.

easy solution to for great results
I use the basic version of Sli.do in almost all of ma facilitation workshop.
Sometimes simply to get some comments on the workshop.
Sometimes as a survey tool .
I also use the Word cloud regularly to summarize an event.
A new application is to use the Q&A function during codevelopment workshop.

- Very easy to set up
- The integrated QR code generator is awesome
- Very easy to understand for users
- Several options to share the links ( hyperlink, QR code, full slide etc)
- Very easy to integrate in a ppt
- Possibility to have longer comment in the Q&A function
- Limited export function in the basic version
We use Slido for Q&A during workshop sessions where we need to garner feedback from a wider audience; when we need to rank multiple ideas for further deliberation. It makes it easier to hear from a group at once, rather than going around the room one by one, which saves time and people's energy.
- gathering feedback
- ranking options
- Additional scoring types
- Ability for the host to ask more questions/polls

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

brainstorming with ease by slido
My organization is using Slido to make all attendees interact and be involved which helped us to get more ideas than regular talking, with everyone participating we were able to make better decisions by asking polls, quizzes, Q&A, and getting feedback from everyone. And the insights of all these inputs are just so accurate.
- Quizzes, Q&A and polls.
- Insights of inputs.
- Integration with office apps.
- If there is a co-host to create polls and quizzes.
- Insights sometimes gets buggy but it's improving with each update.
- Maybe reduce the fees.

Slido has saved my company interactions
We use it to include the whole work department in the opinions of making important decisions, such as the different changes that are made to keep the always renewed way of studying our clients. Slido helps us to make it easier to give opinions and we like that there are different tools that can be used for this.
- The easy use of developing questions.
- That the data is in real time.
- Its functionality in cell phones.
- The results recount system.

Slido for teachers
I use Slido
for virtual training events with a significant number of people as audience,
with the intention of making this part more dynamic, giving more participation
to attendees and greater fluency in the presentation.
It helps me
control questions from attendees, allows to add polls in real time for viewers
to answer.
It is very
simple to use, the events are created in a short time and easily, and then
share the generated url with the attendees of the event so that they can start
asking questions or vote on the most interesting questions so that they are
answered first by the speaker
I control
all the questions asked by the public, I can moderate them, see the results of
the polls and edit the details of the event.
- Polls
- It would be great if it integrates with Cisco Webex Events

Boring Q/A is now useful and 3X more effective
Slido has improved and streamlined our attendee interaction with our conferences. Our format is three 20-minute technical presentations followed by 15 minutes of Q/A. With Slido, attendees are able to ask the question when it pops into their head and then the group can up-vote the questions that most interest them. During the Q/A we were able to double the number of questions we could get answered and help the majority of people to get their curiosity satisfied.
- crowd interaction
- Question and answer session
- Quick and innovative display of answers
- It takes a dedicated person to run the app
- We have to spend time getting people in the app and logged in to our event
- most people are using a small phone to participate - harder to see and use on the small space

Slido - Valuable addition to a meeting
I am using Slido to get feedback from users on how meetings or training sessions have been delivered, to act as CSAT information. I am also demoing Slido to clients to share with them the recent Webex updates and integration with Slido. It adds another layer of interaction to a meeting and can be a useful tool to collate more information from meeting participants.
- Gathering responses from a large number of participants at one time
- Collating results in an easy-to-read format
- Easy to access
- Having multiple people be able to manage Slido during a meeting

Organizing and answering audience question
Slido is being used by several departments inside the organization. It solves the problem of organizing questions to be answered during a presentation. It also solves the problem to allow anonymous questions about the subject being presented. Sometimes it's used together with others questions and answers tool, but usually it's the main tool where we can ask questions.
- Questions can be anonymous.
- Simple to set up.
- Allow to vote for questions.
- It's hard to follow new questions being added to list.
- When the organizer removes the question, it is not visible anymore.
- It would be good to allow grouping similar questions to be answered together.

Slido is currently being used in many areas of our local business. We have invested in a number of licences to be able to utilise the full range of Slido features but from time to time are able to utilise the free Slido options that are available. The main accounts are used for large company wide presentations at roadshows and quarterly/yearly business updates, whereas the free version can be used to gain engagement at smaller ad-hoc group sessions where feedback and interaction is important and Slido offers an anonymous way of answering polls and asking questions where people may not feel confident speaking up. It also helps others have a visual of poll results and other questions being asked as well as giving them the option to vote for questions they support.
- Polls - The Slido polls are excellent for gauging the knowledge of your audience.
- Q&A - People can post questions to be answered. These are visible for others to see and can receive votes to push them higher up the priority list of getting answered first. The host can then mark the question as answered once done, so they can move on to the next burning topic.
- Anonymity - Users can post anonymously, giving them confidence to ask questions they may otherwise feel nervous about.
- Slido can be slow on a web browser and I often find I have to use my mobile to effectively run a presentation.
