Working at conferences, that would be recording and live streaming them, I see Slido used quite a lot to engage with audiences whether they are right there or online or both.

Slido is an interactive tool used to create polls, quizzes, Q&A, word clouds, text based questions and more. It can be easily embedded into a PowerPoint presentation and the audience can see the results right there as they vote or enter questions.

You can send them a link and they don’t event have to login. Slido creates a QR code so they can do this directly from their smartphone or tablet.

Q&A can appear right there on the screen and others can like the question so it gets up voted. The chair or moderator can use this to choose the questions to answer.

Having seem Slido in action I decided to have a go myself and found it pretty straightforward.

There are a number of pricing options and does include a free version, so at the very least you can try it out and see if it is right for you.

If you are using Zoom or Teams it integrates there too, but if you are sharing a PowerPoint presentation in your webinar then you can use it in there.

Here’s a video I made to show you how it works and also how to set it up.
