Integrate live video with Slido event

When you run a meeting or a conference with people joining remotely, Slido allows you to make them part of the conversation. Many videos and live streaming services such as Vimeo, YouTube, Facebook Live, and others provide an iframe link that can be easily embedded into your event.

Remote participants simply enter your Slido event (via event # or event link) to see both live video and Slido polls, ideas, and questions.

🚀 Any video with HTTPS embed code can be embedded in Slido.

 

Standard requirements for the embed code

The video link for embedding can be usually found in "share or "embed" sections provided for your live video service. It usually looks similar to this: 
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N5YHQ0wj-JE" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>


For the link to work well:

  • it must contain only the iframe tag, e.g. <iframe src="https://page.com"> </iframe>
  • any kind of <script> or <div> tags have to be removed
  • make sure your link starts with https://

 

Integrate Slido with Vimeo, Facebook Live or YouTube

To integrate live video with Slido, use the iframe code to embed the video. You can use any live video service that provides an embed code. 

💡No domain is restricted. Using <iframe src="https://allhands.meeting"> automatically works.

🚀 Useful tips: 

  • Tip 1: Embed Slido event into your website
    If you wish to embed your Slido event together with the integrated video into your website, we recommend embedding the two separately in order to avoid any potential technical issues.
     
  • Tip 2: Invite your participants to engage with your Slido event
    There are three ways of how your participants can enter the event: via an event code, event link, or QR code. You can share any of them with your participants via email, social media, or your preferred tool. Our Share a link to your event article tells you more.
