How can you use Slido to engage your audience during a presentation?

1 Create your Slido event

The first step is to create your Slido event, which is the online space where you can manage and display your activities. You can sign up for a free Slido account and choose a plan that suits your needs. Then, you can name your event, set a date and time, and customize the appearance and settings. You can also add a hashtag or a QR code to make it easier for your audience to join your event.

2 Prepare your Slido activities

The second step is to prepare your Slido activities, which are the interactive elements that you can use during your presentation. You can choose from different types of activities, such as polls, quizzes, Q&A sessions, and feedback forms. You can create them in advance or on the spot, depending on your preference and purpose. You can also add images, videos, or emojis to make them more appealing and fun.

3 Integrate your Slido activities with your presentation

The third step is to integrate your Slido activities with your presentation, which is the way you can show them on the same screen as your slides. You can use the Slido Switcher app, which is a browser extension that lets you switch between your presentation and your Slido activities with a keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, you can use the Slido PowerPoint add-in, which lets you insert your Slido activities directly into your slides.

4 Engage your audience with your Slido activities

The fourth step is to engage your audience with your Slido activities, which is the main goal of using Slido. You can launch your activities at any point of your presentation, and invite your audience to participate using their smartphones or laptops. You can then display the results in real time, and use them to spark discussions, answer questions, or share insights. You can also review the data and feedback after your presentation, and use it to improve your future presentations.
