As the holiday season approaches, we're excited to bring you a good selection of updates and features designed to enhance your Slido experience. From festive quizzes to streamlined interfaces, we've got plenty to share.
A special surprise: Holiday quiz
Get into the festive spirit with our special holiday-themed quizzes! They're perfect for engaging your colleagues, friends, or family during the holiday season. Available in both PowerPoint and Google Slides integrations, these quizzes are sure to add some fun to your meetings and get-togethers.
Plus, if you’re a Basic plan user, you can now use the AI-powered polls to easily add polls related to your presentation content.

🙌 Say Hi! to Slido’s new interface
Since November 7, the new Host mode has become the default for everyone, but our efforts to make your Slido experience even better don't stop there! Here’s what we released in November.
We’d love to hear your feedback! 
Please let us know what you think about the new Host mode in the comments.
Also, don’t miss out our free new Host mode trainings, to get yourself familiar with the new interface.
Manage audience questions in bulk
Bringing back the bulk actions to Q&A in the new Host mode, you can now mark multiple questions as answered, or archive and delete them all at once.
🧩 Improved Participant mode experience
Submit your testing questions and poll votes in real time using Participant mode, right next to your interactions. Instead of covering your content, Slido interface now shifts to the side to display the Participant Mode, making it easier to view the submissions.
Plus, we've switched the order of the slido code and privacy indicator in the header to help reduce unnecessary movements while setting up your slido. It's a small change, but we hope you find it helpful!
Poll character limit indicator in polls
We’ve added a character limit indicator for longer poll questions and options. You'll see this indicator appear after 200 characters, with a maximum limit of 257. Just a heads-up: if your text exceeds this limit, the poll won’t save
Looking ahead to early 2025, you'll find the character limit indicator in poll descriptions, question replies, and polls in presentation integrations. 
Access a member’s slidos from the Team page
As a Slido Admin you can access a member’s slidos directly from the Team page, making it easier to find the right slidos.
Slido for PowerPoint updates
We've rolled out the latest versions of Slido for PowerPoint on both Windows and macOS platforms. Be sure to update to take full advantage of new features and a refined user experience.
For macOS users, version 1.51 brings the Suggest Polls feature, now available to all Basic plan users. It also nd improves compatibility with macOS 15 Sequoia and the latest PowerPoint updates, optimizes slideshow performance and removes incorrect warning messages.
On Windows, version 1.14.0 focuses on stability by resolving issues that caused PowerPoint to crash in window mode. New features include update notifications for users with older PowerPoint versions and the ability to download QR codes directly from the sidebar, boosting usability and audience engagement.

Coming soon: Get ready for redesigned My slidos page
In December, look forward to the enhanced My slidos page, featuring improved improved filtering and search functionality. You'll be able to sort through all your slidos, the ones you host, or, if you're an admin, accessing all organization's slidos. Search by name, owner, or code to quickly find what you need.
You’ll also be able to check each slido's status—active, upcoming, or past—and choose your preferred view, whether list or gallery. Managing your slidos will be simpler, with options to delete multiple slidos at once and access frequently used actions through the quick actions menu.
Goodbye to Slido Switcher
On January 15, 2025, we’ll be retiring our Switcher app. While it has been invaluable for displaying polls and Q&A during your meetings and events with presentations, our PowerPoint and Google Slides integrations have effectively taken its place. This shift will allow us to focus on enhancing your Slido experience and developing new features. For more details, please read the announcement below:
That's all for our November updates! We hope you're as excited about them as we are! Don't forget to subscribe to our Product News to stay in the loop on all things Slido.
