    “Live Results Sharing, whether poll results, quiz answers, a word cloud.... this is what makes Slido such an effective tool. You don't have to figure out how to set up the results sharing, it just happens as soon as you have results. Without having to think about the mechanics, you can spend your energy on customizing the presentation. We used the quiz format in a 120-person meeting, with each table submitting one answer. Best of 11 questions won the prize. Slido displayed the results for each question, and at any time we could switch over to view the leaderboard. It was a hit and best of all, working with one colleague we were able to set it all up in little more than an hour. Knowiung nothing about Slido beforehand.”

    Integration rating: 4.8 (23)

    Switching between slides and polls has never been difficult, but Powerpoint integration takes usability case even further. Polls or questions activate when I move slides. Brilliant! I wish Powerpoint for Mac was included (Only Windows is supported at the moment)

    The PPT integration is amazing and allows us to seamlessly integrate polls and activities within our conferences. Great tool!!

    I was not able to effectively embed the live poll into my PowerPoint, but then again I'm not tech savvy.

    Because it elevated the power of my live presentations by creating an environment where my audience can participate.

    Same as with Microsoft Powerpoint. I use both solutions and both work practically the same.
