Quick answer

If you broadcast your event via livestream, Slido lets you communicate with the audience through Q&A, polls, and discussions.

  • You'll need to create a Slido account — a simple free or a paid one — and create a Slido event.
  • Integrate the participant mode of your Slido event into the talque sessions. During the sessions, it shows in the talque sidebar.
  • You can integrate the current mode of the Slido event into your video conference or livestream to display poll results.
  • A simple Slido event can include a Q&A session and several polls. During the event, you can use the Slido admin interface to control which poll is currently shown.
  • Slido Q&A sessions can also be moderated.
Note: The polling tool integration is an optional feature in talque.

How to integrate a Slido URL in talque

To integrate Slido, get the embed code of the participant mode of your Slido event:

  • In your Slido event, click Share > Share link with participants to copy the embed link.
  • In talque, go to Admin > Agenda and open a session. Paste the URL into Additional Options > Poll URL.

How to test Slido

The Slido UI is shown in the talque sidebar — and it only appears once the session starts. To test the Slido integration, create a test session that's happening right now.

Advanced Slido options

As an alternative to the event link, you can also link to specific polls. If you have a Pro or higher Slido license, you can create multiple Slido rooms for your event and use them for different sessions.

Set the default Slido view:

  • Add /live/questions for direct Q&A access
  • Add /live/polls for direct poll access

Direct access to specific Slido rooms:

Append ?section=ROOMID to the Slido event link. To get the room ID, pick the desired room in the Slido backend, hover over the presentation mode, and choose Present in a new tab. Copy the link to the presentation mode from the address bar and paste it into a text editor. Copy everything from ?section= on.

Example:

https://app.sli.do/event/eventname
https://app.sli.do/event/eventname?section=1c81ae52-5718-4897-8845-621e773e9d46
