Launching Slido as a meeting participant

Participants in Webex Meetings can launch Slido only if the host did not open it first. When Slido is used, other meeting participants can submit their responses in polls and ask and upvote questions in Q&A.

The participant who launched Slido has all the abilities of a Slido admin. They can:

  • Create, edit, launch and delete polls, collect responses from meeting participants and reveal the results live, and more.

  • Enable Q&A and questions moderation, filter and sort questions from participants, highlight the ones that are being discussed, mark questions as answered, and more.

Before you begin

  • Slido needs to be approved and enabled in the Control Hub by a full Webex admin

  • To launch Slido, you need the Webex Meetings desktop version 41.6 or later on Windows or macOS and a paid Webex plan.

  • The meeting host must allow you to share in the meeting.

  • You can only launch Slido if the meeting host has not opened it yet.

  • Only one meeting participant can add Slido per meeting.
