I use Slido at my classes and there are other some colleagues who are using it. I usually use it as an ice-breaker and also to get my students engaged. It is helpful when I use it to ask about the initial knowledge of the audience about the topic I am covering as it gives me an idea to which extent the audience is familiar with the topic so I can adjust my pace of facilitation.
  • Multiple choice questions are very helpful and audiences like it.
  • When I use open text polls and convert them into a word cloud.
  • Very simple and user-friendly, it even supports Arabic language.
  • Technically, I do not see an area that requires attention.
  • I wish they'd increase the number of free polls or reduce the fees.
It is always useful to start the lecture with and ask the audience about their knowledge or some topic. I think it fits in all times and scenarios.
  • It is a bit pricey for an educational institutions or individual trainers.
  • It helps me a lot in engaging audience.
It is just a wonderful tool and platform.

Slido is currently being used in many areas of our local business. We have invested in a number of licences to be able to utilise the full range of Slido features but from time to time are able to utilise the free Slido options that are available. The main accounts are used for large company wide presentations at roadshows and quarterly/yearly business updates, whereas the free version can be used to gain engagement at smaller ad-hoc group sessions where feedback and interaction is important and Slido offers an anonymous way of answering polls and asking questions where people may not feel confident speaking up. It also helps others have a visual of poll results and other questions being asked as well as giving them the option to vote for questions they support.
  • Polls - The Slido polls are excellent for gauging the knowledge of your audience.
  • Q&A - People can post questions to be answered. These are visible for others to see and can receive votes to push them higher up the priority list of getting answered first. The host can then mark the question as answered once done, so they can move on to the next burning topic.
  • Anonymity - Users can post anonymously, giving them confidence to ask questions they may otherwise feel nervous about.
  • Slido can be slow on a web browser and I often find I have to use my mobile to effectively run a presentation.
In my experience Slido has been excellent for stand alone group sessions of circa 80 people all the way up to road shows with thousands of people over several days. I haven't seen much use for it in smaller group settings of 15 or below.
  • The poll feature has been useful for gauging employee understanding to effectively target future training sessions and increase overall performance through education.
  • The Q&A segment highlights employees key questions and concerns allowing focus on the areas that matter to people, increasing engagement which can have a positive impact on individual outputs.
The communication I've had directly from Slido was very professional and sets an excellent impression for the tone of the company.
