For teams who host events, I think Slido is a great tool to have in the toolbox. I've used it exclusively for customer-facing events, and it is very easy for attendees to understand, use, and interact with. We also use it for internal events like all-hands, and it works well in those cases as well.

Our every business event will be half done without Slido. We use it so much. In every meeting, training, event, we use Slido. You can see how people react with polls, word cloud, etc. what exactly people want to tell. It's so transparent.

Slido is a great and useful tool for increased attendee engagement during meetings and webinars. It can be used for icebreakers, pulse checks, surveys, and quizzes. We create a lot of quizzes based on training webinars to gauge if the info was well received and then offer prizes based on quiz results. This also helps to ensure that attendees pay attention during the trainings since they know there will be a quiz that will measure and they may win something.

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.

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.

If you are in need of a tool for participant engagement, Slido is for you! If you need to provide a quiz with a leaderboard for online training or preso, Slido is for you! If you need to gather feedback, Slido is for you!

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.

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.

I think if you were to have too many on a particular call, three is the magic number. If you have three you're gonna maintain that engagement. But I think if you were to just overuse it or use it for everything, like every single meeting there's gonna be like 10 polls. I think overuse would be kind of a negative. But like I said, for team meetings and just a quick survey, it's anonymous too if you want it to be, so that's helpful. But for surveys, it's top-notch.

It's excellent for quizzes for larger audiences: radio listeners or TV viewers. I also love the fact it is customizable: adding logos, agenda, and external links make a really good impression: it looks like it's your app. It is also very easy for participants to start using it. Barrier is low, both for admins and participants.

The more I use it the more I discover special applications.
E.g. In codeveopment sessions , there is a step when participants must write questions on a notepad and then share questions as a group. Using the Q&A function in Sli.do we can all interact and vote for questions that were already written. This saves a lot of time compiling !!

It's appropriate for large groups where you are asking the audience to pose questions to you or a panel (and it is the best at doing this), but where you are asking the audience questions (e.g. voting on options) there is less functionality for this within Slido compared to competitors

I use Slido as a sidekick to my presentation software such as Google Slides. It's easy to add the Slido plugin to Slides, and share the QR code with the participants of my event. Audiences love being engaged during a workshop or training session, so Slido does exactly that, it provides and opportunity for them to interact with the content and the presenter by asking questions, participating in polls or sharing their ideas. Typical use cases for Slido in my work: 1. Workshop or training session 2. Pitch session 3. Expert speech session/talk

Slido is well suited for any event where computers or smartphones are present alongside a cellular or internet connection. This includes internal events such as a company-wide meeting or divisional meeting, possibly even for larger departments as well. Likewise for external events such as large conferences and working groups. Slido would be less suited for meetings among members of a small team or an external meeting with a very limited number of attendees, as matters would likely just be discussed and voted on verbally.

Slido is great to use for live meetings, whether in person or via video conference; we mostly use this for Zoom meetings. You can use the different features at different times in your meeting: I love to start our All Hands meetings with a word cloud or a poll of some kind, and as people are joining via zoom it gets people feeling excited and connected even before we've started. It also gives us something fun to talk about while we're waiting for everyone to arrive and for the meeting to start. You can do a poll halfway through to keep people engaged, and then a poll at the end to see how you did, or maybe use the Q&A to see what questions come up without having the awkward zoom silence when you ask if anyone has any questions. I don't think this is helpful in smaller meetings, where people likely feel more comfortable interacting directly and asking questions verbally.

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?

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.

Post or Pre-event (workshop, class or seminar) questionnaires, to gather participants data, or their feedback on the content, methods and interactions during the event. Each questionnaire can be also shared with the organising team members, which can be very handy.

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.
