The ability to embed polls into my PowerPoint was great for the in-person training I recently facilitated. There were 64 participants, and to try and count for each question would have been a headache. The participants also loved the interaction with the polls and the ability to see where they stood against the other participants. It was led to a streamlined approach to the polls, as I didn't have to stop the PowerPoint presentation to pull up the Slido website every time.

Embedding the polls into my PowerPoint presentation was also really easy! Once I downloaded the add-in for PowerPoint, it was as simple as entering my poll question/responses and clicking a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only critique about Slido is I didn't have the option/ability to change the font size of the poll question or responses on the slide. My polls each had six responses, and once participants began to answer (which added the percentage bar) the last one or two responses were cut off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to submit questions anonymously and the ease of use of the UI is highly appreciated.

I used Slido for a student presentation at a university open campus. Using QR codes, I solicited questions from students (high school students). We received more questions than ever before.

When used as a student presentation at a university open campus, it was done in teams. Most of the team members did not see the slido administration screen. This suggests that the slido admin screen may be difficult to navigate.

We believe that there should be a ready button on the admin screen where questions can be answered. We envision this button being used in a team presentation to indicate that a question requires research to answer and that the research has been completed. We would like to have a form where each presenting member selects the question they want to answer and the administrator selects the question they want to answer.

Slido makes audience interaction effortless and impactful. Its native-like integration into PowerPoint means I can run live polls, quizzes, and Q&A sessions without switching apps or disrupting the flow of my presentation. It’s intuitive, quick to set up, and adds a professional, interactive touch that consistently boosts audience engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Slido works seamlessly during presentations, in edit mode within PowerPoint it would be valuable to have more detailed information available — such as displaying audience responses — to give better context and ensure questions are framed more effectively.

I recently used Slido for the first time during a webinar, and overall, I was impressed. The platform was intuitive to set up and integrated seamlessly into my slide deck, making the experience smooth from the start.

One feature I especially appreciated was being able to see when participants were typing. It helped me gauge whether to pause or move on, which made the session feel more dynamic and responsive. Slido also takes the pressure off attendees who may not feel comfortable speaking up, allowing for more engagement.

I'd definitely consider using it again! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I do wish the free version offered a bit more in terms of features, what is available gives you a solid feel for how the platform works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that slido was quick to implement! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a little difficult for me to get back into the results after I finished my presentation. (This was my fault though, I used the wrong email to log in.) The program was so easy to use and my participants had different devices at the conference. I heard another presenter talking about Slido in the morning, and by afternoon, I had it all set up for my presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an efficient tool which helps in engaging the audiences with lives polls and anonymous question and answer encouraging every audience to participate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slides has some limitation with the customization option and a little difficulties with integration into certain platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup, great features and very responsive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess like any great tool should support the developer and purchase a license. The free version was still awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I struggled to find a polling tool that would work well with Apple's Keynote. As I don't have Microsoft 360 I can't use Powerpoint, so trying to find the right combination of software packages to do a presentation with interactive polling elements was a headache. Slido solved the problem. It worked perfectly with Google Slides and was easy to use, both in preparing the slides and then in using them in a live situation.

I would like a version that works just as seamlessly with Keynote Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great way to help people ask questions in an anonymous way, which means that people who are normally much less likely to ask a question feel able to do so.

It is also lovely to be able to gather responses e.g. creating word clouds, which means you can make talks much more interactive.

It is easy to use - just install it!

You do need to bring your own device to presentations, which saves having to email it or find a USB.

Probably more features that I haven't used, but will try to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

having to navigate to the slide to manage the questions when you are in presenter mode in ppt - this takes a wee bit of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Slido when facilitation professional development sessions to educators. The PowerPoint integration for Slido is great. The extension was easy to install and instantly use. You can access and build a Slido while in PowerPoint. I like this integration because you don't have to switch screens to access and display interactions while presenting. Everything is right there in the PowerPoint presentation, including the information participants need to access the interactions (QR code, join code) . Results can also be displayed through the PP presentation. This is full integration. I use the free version and I can do everything that I need to engage participants and allow for all voices to be heard. Participants enjoy Slido because it enhances the quality of my presentations and allows for them to provide immediate feedback and input. I've used it in-person and remotely, and in both scenarios there is high engagement and response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge I've had using Slido is the Google Slides integration. I downloaded the Chrome extension and the Slides extension and could not get it to work. Not sure if it was my device or user error but I was expecting to see a similar experience to the PowerPoint integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
