A quick and intuitive audience engaging experience
Slido is a powerful tool for engaging audiences during workshops and lectures.
- It allows people to keep up with the pace of the explanations by engaging in questions
- It integrates with presentation softwares such as Microsoft Powerpoint and Google Slides
- It has multiple templates that allow a quick setup and use
- I would like it to integrate with Zoom Meetings, since it is the most popular web conferencing tool among our clients
- It helps us keep participants' attention during online workshops, which can be long and tiring.
- Slido is a lightweight – it doesn't take forever to load – and intuitive tool, which has been encouraging user participation.
- The learning curve of the tool is very low, which does not discourage users.
- Kahoot!
Slido's interface is much better than Kahoot's. The application is lighter and much more intuitive.

Slido Review
So we have conference calls which generally people are doing other stuff and being bored and stuff. So one of the things they'll do is have a survey at the beginning. It can be as simple as What's your favorite color? Or it could be as complicated as work-related IT stuff. And that keeps everybody engaged, especially if there are prizes and you do it throughout the conference to kind of keep people engaged as well as a little bit of an entertainment factor.
- It just works. You put up a survey, you put in what you wanted to say in multiple-choice or enter your own free type. And it just works. It's easy to get the results back instantaneously, as well as providing some visualization, pie charts, graphs, that kind of thing, and see what's in the lead. It could be as simple as picking what kind of food for the next company, pizza or tacos or whatever, and it kind of rates them and it just works. That's what's intended.
- I think maybe visually to have different skins for it, just to kind of add some additional flare company logo, you know, something that would make it more customized for your organization. Or even just stylizing, like if it's a Cinco de Mayo party, you a Mexican theme, stuff like that I think would be nice. But that's all just flare, functionality wise it's flawless.
- N/A
It's as simple as just Microsoft Word Visual Basic. We used to use that. Just a lot more cumbersome with the program and setup. Can be buggy depending on the browser operating system that you're running it on. Nothing specific for surveys. This was the first one we got that's officially for a survey that I know of. I've been there for about five years.

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
- simple to connect
- stability
- choice to be anonymous
- +people are more engaged
- +reduced movement in rooms of people moving to/handeling Q&A mics for Covid protocols
- +people can engage in the room OR remotely on a live stream
We choose Slido over the internal Q&A in the web conferencing we use because of its flexibility. Teams Live is a good example where you need to give moderators Producer rights to the whole event to be able see questions. This can give a wide range of people access to controls for the entire event meaning they could accidently stop/start the live stream or make un intended changes. Separating the Q&A moderation keeps the production side of the event safe. Also the ability to use word clouds and free text is handy.

Easy and effective to tool to gather data
I organise and manage events for our SEMCAN committee - Sydney Early and Mid Career Academic Network. WE use Slido
to gather data on the participants that engage with our events, such as writing
groups, diversity and inclusions workshops and viral video competitions. Slido
is usually issued at the end or during the events via direct links in the Zoom,
or follow-up emails, or QR codes for printed posters. Slido is handy because it
is easy to set-up and duplicate questionnaires as well as share them with wider
audiences. Slido is also used in teaching, to gather feedback on a weekly basis.
- Intuitive and easy to-use web interface
- plenty of question type options
- easy to copy and modify exasting questionnaires
- The visualisation of results can be more visually pleasing
- More options to imbed media (such as images or videos)
- easy to use and share
- commonly used, so people are familiar with it
- we can make more informed decisions
- can compare data from different years, to see if some trends emerge
Simple interface, easy to customise and share questions

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.
- The poll feature has been useful for gauging employee understanding to effectively target future training sessions and increase overall performance through education.
- The Q&A segment highlights employees key questions and concerns allowing focus on the areas that matter to people, increasing engagement which can have a positive impact on individual outputs.
