Assistant Director in Research & Development at RTV Slovenija (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Quizzes with Leaderboards
Q & As
Branding and embedding

Cons

In a poll with 2 simple questions, I would like to have an option to show all results (not just of the one, selected).
Support for Powerpoint on Mac is still missing, I think....

Return on Investment

We are able to pitch TV quizzes to sponsors, which then supports our production
Some radio shows sponsors started investing more if a contract includes a live Slido quiz for the radio audience. 100 listeners attending live is already a cool radio format...
