Start collecting questions and ideas

To create your Slido event or idea space, type /slido in any channel and select whether you'd like to collect questions or ideas.

View and upvote what others posted

Once your Slido event or idea space is created, your colleagues can use Ask Question or Add Idea buttons to join the discussion. You can easily view and upvote questions and ideas by clicking “View all & Upvote” which takes you to the Slido app.

Share your existing Slido event or idea space

To post your existing Slido event or idea space to Slack, type in /slido share and simply select one from the list.

Useful tips

• With moderation turned on, you can approve, reject or edit incoming questions directly in Slack
• You can highlight or archive a live question directly in Slack
• If you want to be notified about every incoming question, go to the channel's settings and turn on notifications
• If you want someone else to moderate incoming questions, just invite them to your private channel
• If your event has multiple rooms, you can't choose a specific room in Slack. All questions are collected in one channel but you can see to which room each question belongs.
