Slido

Slido is an intuitive Q&A and polling platform designed to enhance live, remote, or hybrid meetings, events, classes, and webinars with interactive engagement features. Participants join sessions using a unique event code, QR code, or link on their smartphones, tablets, or laptops, without needing to download or register. Slido is available as a default polling service within the KAUST Webex platform for Meetings, as well as a standalone service - in host mode. Slido can also be integrated with Microsoft Teams and other online meeting platforms. It is an excellent replacement to Mentimeter and freely available to anyone with a KAUST account.
