Introducing Slido for Teams 🚀
Great news! Our integration with Microsoft Teams meetings is out!
Now you can use Slido directly in your Teams meeting window - no need to switch between tabs or devices. Simply add Slido as an extension and manage everything in one place.
You can learn more about how to add Slido to your Microsoft Teams here.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Introducing Slido for PowerPoint 🎉
The wait is over! We're thrilled to introduce our most requested feature: PowerPoint integration for Windows Beta.
You can now add polls, quizzes and Q&A directly to your presentation and engage your participants without switching between applications.
We can't wait for you to try it out. 🚀
Autumn themes and Restricted domain sign-up
New features
🎃 Halloween and Autumn themes
Make your upcoming meetings more festive with fall-inspired Present mode themes. Simply head over to Settings - Customization - Present mode and put on the spooky mood!
⏳ Join the Microsoft Teams & Zoom integrations waitlist
Slido is coming to your favorite video conferencing tools! If you want to be among the first to know when we release the new integrations, join the waitlist for Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
🤝 Guests in multiple events
Good news for those running events with collaborators. The same guest can now be added to one event of each user in your account. Previously, it was just one event in the whole account.
🛂 Restricted domain sign-up
If you want to have a centralized Slido license for all your employees’ accounts, you can restrict sign-ups for your company domain. Users under a restricted domain will not be able to create their own accounts or be invited to accounts outside of the main one, excluding Guest access. Available for Enterprise and Institution licenses with at least 10 additional users.
Other improvements
- When running a quiz from Google Slides or PowerPoint, you can now set an interim leaderboard and generate a random quiz question
- You can add multiple polls with one click to your presentation in Google Slides and PowerPoint
- We made Admin 20-50% faster
In case you missed it
Catch up on Moderator’s announcements, Google Meet Private Beta, slido.new and more.
Moderator's announcements
New features
📣Moderator's announcements
This may have happened to you during your last meeting: The session was running, participants kept asking one question after another in Q&A and then you suddenly needed to share some important information with your whole audience. We are sure you somehow managed to solve that. Anyway, now it’s easier than ever before, you can use the moderator's announcements!
This feature allows you to push a notification at the top of the Participant mode with a message for everyone to see. We also support links as part of announcements, so feel free to use this feature to share various URLs with your audience. Available for Teacher/Professional and above plans.
Learn how to create announcements
🔗 New shareable link to invite your team
If you are an account administrator, there is a new way to invite your team easily - by using a shareable link. There is some customization available based on your preference, e.g. you can specify the email domains that are allowed to use the link. This feature is available for Corporate+ and Department+ plans.
Small improvements & fixes
- Guests can now leave events by themselves from My events page
- If you have exports available, you can now see Question sentiment. This works only in English language for now.
- Once your poll is created, you can now save and activate it with one click.
