What is Slido.com?

Slido is an audience engagement platform that lets presenters interact with participants in real time through polls, Q&A sessions, quizzes, and surveys. It works for in-person events, remote meetings, webinars, and hybrid setups. The tool integrates directly into presentation software like PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Zoom, so you can run interactive elements without switching between windows. Participants join via a web link or mobile app and respond instantly, giving you live feedback and participation data. It's useful for anyone running events, training sessions, classes, or meetings who wants to gauge understanding, gather opinions, or simply keep people engaged rather than passive.
