Brainstorming is a great way to tap into your team’s collective intelligence. But too often, it turns into a messy wall of sticky notes, duplicate ideas and sorting them while everyone watches. We have recently launched Slido Ideas, a simpler way to collect, organize and prioritize your participants’ input without complex whiteboards or heavy tools.

Sometimes you know you should think of an interaction for your next call or session, but your meeting is about to start and you’re completely out of ideas. Slido AI features can help you here, bringing you more ways to make meetings, trainings and live sessions interactive and productive – with less effort and time. Create and refine interactions faster, let AI suggest meaningful moments for interaction directly from your slides and get more value from Q&A.

January meetings can either be a soft landing into business as usual or the moment you set the tone for a focused and productive year. The difference usually isn’t a bigger slide deck or longer meetings, it’s running intentional sessions to help your team reflect on what to take from 2025, align on what matters in 2026 and kick off the year with clarity and energy.

Looking to bring something fresh and competitive to your next team event? Here’s a fun way to run Slido alongside a presentation to create an interactive Jeopardy-style game. This post walks you step by step through building the ultimate trivia showdown using Slido for Google Slides or Slido for PowerPoint. The challenge Standard multiple-choice trivia is great, but it’s predictable. For our team holiday party we wanted something more dynamic – a game where there was no way to be the best guesser.

Have you ever had a recurring meeting that you dreaded? Sometimes hosting meetings can be anxiety inducing but for this meeting it wasn’t just me but all our attendees that groaned when they saw it in their calendar. “This meeting just isn’t working.” That’s the feedback my team gave me about our monthly strategic client call. As Slido’s Customer Success Manager Lead, I was hosting these 75-minute sessions where our CSMs would sit with executives to review our top-tier customers.

As a manager, I often find myself caught in a whirlwind of meetings and juggling far too many projects. And in the midst of all that busyness, there have been moments where I’ve completely lost track of what’s happening with my team, both at work and in their lives. It’s in those moments I’ve learned something crucial: the busier things get, the more vital it becomes to pause and reconnect. Not just with the work, but with the people doing it. My team covers a large scope.

With technologies like Generative and Agentic AI, we’re experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime transformation at work. Change on this scale can be scary and it can be easy to feel like you’re being left behind. Here at Slido, we’re big advocates for engaging with your team during moments of change and using them as an opportunity to connect with people, improve employee engagement and drive improved performance.

AI is everywhere now. It’s a key investment focus for many companies – be that in improving internal efficiencies or to evolve the products that they bring to market. And that means change, a lot of it. Something most humans don’t love. In regular circumstances, change can lead to uncertainty which in turn can impact psychological safety. And the AI transformation brings another emotion into the mix. Fear.

We all carry hidden prejudices – subtle leanings that shape our thoughts and actions. These biases act like invisible weights on the scales of our judgment, tilting us towards or away from certain ideas, people or situations. More often than not, we don’t even realize the prejudices we hold. Like whispers in the back of our minds, unconscious bias acts as automatic, deeply ingrained preferences that shape our perceptions and actions. It often contradicts our conscious beliefs.

It’s Friday 3 PM. You’re in your fourth meeting of the day and as another slide clicks by, you find yourself rewriting your grocery list. Sound familiar? Now imagine  you’re the one hosting the meeting. To avoid running the kind of meeting you’d hate to attend, the INTENT model gives you a simple framework to not only win over your audience but also make sure your meeting leaves a lasting impact.
