How to Use Slido in Webex

Webex has added a Slido integration so that users can conduct Slido polling directly in their Webex session. Hosts and Cohosts can control the polls during a session.

Both the Host and Cohost must be using the latest version of the Desktop App in order to share control of the polls. Cohosts can request control of the poll once it has begun.

Creating Polls During the Session

  1. Begin the Webex session and click on Apps in the bottom-right corner.

  3. Create a new Poll using one of the options presented.

Creating Polls Outside of Webex

Users can create polls on the Slido website that can be used in Webex sessions. The full suite of poll tools is available on the main website.
