My team hosts a variety of in-person, online, and hybrid events, and we're always looking for ways to keep attendees engaged. Slido is one of the tools we've used to create opportunities for interactivity at our events. We've used a variety of interactions, including word cloud, polls, and Q&A, and attendees seem to really enjoy using Slido at our events.

We use Slido for conducting online polls during business events and meetings. It is very intuitive and it is not necessary to download the app. We use it for voting. We take benefit from its question and answer feature also. We use Slido for our company's internal requirements only. Slido also provides its live chat support that will guide you to solve any problem you face while it's used. It can be integrated with Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides. It is really useful to take live questions and polls while you present.

I use Slido in my meetings that I host, and also many meetings that I attend. I find it very useful for surveys - both during and post meetings, but also to make meetings more engaging and entertaining. We often add in quizzes with prizes or quick polls to keep people involved and it definitely makes a difference.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We use Slido to interact with TV and Radio audiences: the host sometimes invites people to ask questions, give feedback, and participate in a quiz. Occasionally we would also conduct UX surveys as it is a platform that the audience already knows. We love that it supports local languages and is really easy to implement into a workflow.

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.

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.

We use this at all teams meetings, town halls, and company briefings to quickly gather questions. It serves both anonymous and named questions which aids employee confidence in participation. We’ve also regularly used the vote and weird cloud functions to provide more engagement in all of the previously named meetings.

Slido is a lightweight support tool to make your presentations more interactive with Q&A, polls and ideation. It works with any presentation software you use, such as Google Slides, MS PowerPoint or OSx Keynote. You are able to create a session in Slide securely and share the QR code/link with the participants. In the free version of Slido, your participants can add challenges, questions and ideas before or during the session. They are also able to participate in a limited number of polls.

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.

Slido is currently being used across the whole organization, as multiple departments and divisions use it for internal meetings such as a divisional meeting, as well as external meetings like conferences, working groups, and other events (both in person and virtual). It addresses the business problems of running question and answer segments of events, as well as improvised polls and surveys within an event.

We use Slido to increase engagement and participation in meetings. Specifically, we use this in every company-wide All Hands meeting, and also in many other larger group meetings. Especially when they are more than a handful of meeting attendees via Zoom, it's easy for people to check out, and we find that Slido helps to keep people involved!

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.

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.

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.

We use Slido within Webex to increase our audience participation, and keep our meetings lively! Here at Lee Health, we are always pitching Slido to fellow Webex users to incorporate into their meetings. Slido seamlessly allows us to have live polls, Q&A, word clouds, etc to keep put attendees active.
