About Slido
Slido is an audience interaction tool owned by Cisco and now part of Webex. Participants join from a phone or laptop with an event code, then ask and upvote questions, answer live polls, add to word clouds, take quizzes or submit ideas, while the host shows results on screen. Its strongest feature is live Q&A: the most-voted questions rise to the top, moderators can review questions before they appear, and people can stay anonymous. Slido works on its own in the browser, and it plugs directly into PowerPoint, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex, so polls can sit inside an existing deck or call. It also offers surveys, analytics after the event, and AI suggestions for poll wording. There is a free plan with the core features and participant limits, plus one-time event plans, annual business plans, education plans and enterprise contracts. It's built for meetings, all-hands and conferences more than for game-style classroom quizzes.
Best for: Teams and event hosts who want live Q&A with upvoting inside their slides or video calls.
