I make use of Slido in virtual workshops to hold participants' attention and see if they understand the content. Real-time quizzes and live polls keep online sessions engaging and lead to better learning outcomes. The Slido team gave great assistance early on, providing valuable tutorials that sped up the adoption process for the platform.
Pros
It is helpful to use the word cloud feature in brainstorming sessions, as it shows everyone’s ideas in real time.
The feature lets people ask questions anonymously, so everyone has a chance to have their concerns heard.
Assessments in training work well with the quiz mode, as scores are provided instantly. It is easy to use Slido together with Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Cons
A key issue I’ve noticed is that not having a mobile app means some users may not be able to join in if they’re away from their computer.
Offering a mobile-friendly design would increase ease of use for all participants.
Some users have problems keeping track of several polls that are open at the same time.
Likelihood to Recommend
Slido is most helpful in structured training because interactive features can improve learning outcomes. Difficulties may arise with free discussion in brainstorming sessions because the platform is built on structure.
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.
Pros
Live polls are great.
Slido code to ask any question during the event.
I love that it has dark mode as well.
Cons
I didn't understand on what basis text is bigger or smaller in the word cloud. That's confusing for me. Maybe Slido can think about it.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
