What is Slido
Slido is an audience interaction platform used to run live Q&A, polls, quizzes, and surveys during meetings and events. It is commonly used by event organizers, presenters, and internal communications teams to collect questions and feedback from in-person, hybrid, and virtual audiences. The product emphasizes moderated Q&A workflows, multiple question and polling formats, and integrations with common meeting and presentation tools.
Strong live Q&A moderation
Slido supports moderated Q&A with features such as question upvoting, sorting, and admin controls to approve or hide submissions. These workflows help presenters manage high volumes of audience questions in real time. The Q&A focus is useful for town halls, conferences, and large internal meetings where facilitation matters.
Integrations with meeting tools
Slido integrates with widely used meeting and presentation environments, which reduces friction for presenters and attendees. This allows polls and Q&A to run alongside existing meeting workflows rather than requiring a separate event app experience. For organizations standardizing on common collaboration suites, this can simplify adoption and rollout.
Multiple interaction formats
The platform provides polling, quizzes, surveys, and Q&A to support different engagement goals (feedback collection, knowledge checks, prioritization, and open questions). It also supports both live and asynchronous participation depending on how sessions are configured. This breadth helps teams reuse one tool across recurring meetings and one-off events.
Limited full event management
While Slido is used in events, it primarily addresses audience interaction rather than end-to-end event operations. Organizations needing registration, ticketing, agenda management, exhibitor management, or attendee networking typically require additional event management software. As a result, Slido often functions as a component within a broader event technology stack.
Branding and UI constraints
Customization options for attendee-facing experiences can be more limited than platforms designed as full event apps. Some organizations may find constraints around deep theming, complex multi-track experiences, or highly tailored attendee journeys. This can matter for customer-facing conferences with strict brand requirements.
Feature depth varies by plan
Access to certain capabilities can depend on licensing tier and organizational agreements. This can introduce procurement complexity when different teams want different levels of functionality. It may also affect scalability for large programs if advanced controls or higher usage limits are required.
