665 Slido Reviews
I really liked how easy and intuitive Slido was to use for creating a quiz. The interface is clean and beginner-friendly, making it simple to add questions, set time limits, and manage the quiz flow. I especially appreciated the real-time response tracking—it made the whole experience engaging and interactive. Slido also provides a smooth experience for participants, with no need to sign up or install anything, which helped everyone join quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I disliked about Slido is that some of the more advanced features—like detailed analytics or customization options—are locked behind a paid plan, which can be limiting for students or small events. Also, while the quiz feature is great, it would be even better if there were more flexibility in question types and visual customization to make quizzes more engaging. Lastly, the mobile interface, although functional, can feel a bit cramped when multiple options or longer questions are involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Slido with my students and they really enjoy the lessons when I use it, because it makes the lessons more dynamic and fun, I also use it during teacher training. Once teachers know that they can make their presentations more interactive, they start integrating it into their lessons. The feedback I get from teachers is very positive.
It's an easy platform to use and implement, once you know how it works, and it can be accessed from any computer, anywhere, all you need is an internet connection. It's good because it can be integrated with curriculum content. I can use it frequently because it doesn't restrict the number of presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not a good thing that the free version has restrictions on the poll slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about Slido is how easy it makes audience engagement, especially during hybrid events or workshops. It’s incredibly intuitive, and I can quickly set up live polls, Q&A sessions, or word clouds without disrupting the flow of a session. It creates a sense of inclusion, letting everyone have a voice, whether in the room or connecting remotely. I also love how seamlessly it integrates with PowerPoint, and this keeps things slick and professional when delivering my presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much to dislike, to be fair. It works every time and gets the audience engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to embed polls into my PowerPoint was great for the in-person training I recently facilitated. There were 64 participants, and to try and count for each question would have been a headache. The participants also loved the interaction with the polls and the ability to see where they stood against the other participants. It was led to a streamlined approach to the polls, as I didn't have to stop the PowerPoint presentation to pull up the Slido website every time.
Embedding the polls into my PowerPoint presentation was also really easy! Once I downloaded the add-in for PowerPoint, it was as simple as entering my poll question/responses and clicking a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My only critique about Slido is I didn't have the option/ability to change the font size of the poll question or responses on the slide. My polls each had six responses, and once participants began to answer (which added the percentage bar) the last one or two responses were cut off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to submit questions anonymously and the ease of use of the UI is highly appreciated.
I used Slido for a student presentation at a university open campus. Using QR codes, I solicited questions from students (high school students). We received more questions than ever before.

When used as a student presentation at a university open campus, it was done in teams. Most of the team members did not see the slido administration screen. This suggests that the slido admin screen may be difficult to navigate.
We believe that there should be a ready button on the admin screen where questions can be answered. We envision this button being used in a team presentation to indicate that a question requires research to answer and that the research has been completed. We would like to have a form where each presenting member selects the question they want to answer and the administrator selects the question they want to answer.

I use Slido when facilitation professional development sessions to educators. The PowerPoint integration for Slido is great. The extension was easy to install and instantly use. You can access and build a Slido while in PowerPoint. I like this integration because you don't have to switch screens to access and display interactions while presenting. Everything is right there in the PowerPoint presentation, including the information participants need to access the interactions (QR code, join code) . Results can also be displayed through the PP presentation. This is full integration. I use the free version and I can do everything that I need to engage participants and allow for all voices to be heard. Participants enjoy Slido because it enhances the quality of my presentations and allows for them to provide immediate feedback and input. I've used it in-person and remotely, and in both scenarios there is high engagement and response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest challenge I've had using Slido is the Google Slides integration. I downloaded the Chrome extension and the Slides extension and could not get it to work. Not sure if it was my device or user error but I was expecting to see a similar experience to the PowerPoint integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Slido is an invaluable tool for engaging my audience during presentations, meetings, and events. Its interactive features, such as live polls, Q&A sessions, and surveys, foster real-time participation, making it easy for attendees to share their thoughts and questions. This enhances audience involvement and helps create a more dynamic atmosphere. Additionally, Slido's seamless integration with popular platforms like Zoom and Google Slides allows for smooth transitions and streamlined experiences. By using Slido, I can gather instant feedback, gauge understanding, and ensure that my audience feels heard, ultimately leading to more productive and engaging sessions.
Can Slido integrate with PowerP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont see anything unsatisfied so far, everything is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Slido is very easy to use and to implement into Power Point. You do not have to download an app and results can be shown live. Because of its usability and vast number of features, rating options, Q&A section, ..., I prefer to use Slido over other software of other providers. Personaly, I think that Slido is the best participation software on the market. It even has a free plan for smaller events, which suffices most of my use cases.
I used Slido with an audience of more than 100 participants and did not run into any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not notice any downsides, when using slido :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a great add in for power point, I used it to engage my class when I needed to do a presentation. I asked a question and everyone had to answer with 1-2 word answers, and slido created a word cloud in real time. It was really neat, and added some excitement to student engagement. It was easy to create the slido, and easy for everyone to access it during the presentation using the QR code or the web address. I would definitely use slido again in future presentations.

One downside about slido is with the basic (free) plan you can only use 3 slido slides per presentation. It is also not very intuitive to use, as far as adding it to your presentation, editing it, or erasing the answers so it can be reused. An interface that's easy to navigate is important to me as a person in a non-tech or marketing related field, but who has to use tech everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to connect and use for the participants of the workshop, no need for prior knowledge, experience, or upfront setup. The tools for facilitator are also extremely easy to use and don't require prior experience or training, which comes in very handy in situations, where there is a very limited amount of time to prepare.

Not that it was something I disliked, but I had to transform one interaction on-the-fly, from Word Cloud to Open Text. It would have been excellent if the original responses would have been transferred from one to another, because the participants had to submit their responses one more time. However this was my error and I should have tested it before the workshop itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
