Q&A

Increase participant engagement in your Webex meetings through Slido's Q&A feature. Once you launch Slido in Webex for Government, the Q&A is instantly ready for use.

During the meeting, participants can ask questions directly in the Slido sidebar within the Webex window. The moderation feature allows hosts and co-hosts review questions before they are visible to everyone, ensuring a smooth flow of discussion.

Slido has the highlighting feature for a question that's being discussed to keep participants informed and engaged. Before moving on to the next question, you can mark the question as answered or archive it.

With Slido, attendees can upvote questions submitted by others, enabling you to prioritize and address questions based on their popularity.
