Key Takeaways
- Engage remote users: In virtual work environments, engaging with users of CRM or other technology often happens remotely, with much of the training and networking done via PowerPoint. A useful tip for enhancing virtual meetings is to use a free PowerPoint add-in called Slido.
- Slido demo: Heidi has been using Slido for almost three years with a free account, which allows for the creation of simple polls with up to three questions. In this video, she demonstrates how to create a Slido quiz and integrate it into PowerPoint slides.
- Slido capabilities: Heidi notes that she used Microsoft 365 Copilot to create this slide deck by simply prompting it to make a presentation contrasting all parts of the Power Platform. You can also choose to upload a file and have Copilot create slides based on it. Additionally, Slido allows you to add various types of questions like Q&A, multiple choice, word cloud, open text, rankings, rating, quiz, and survey, all for free.
- Audience participation: After logging into Slido, you can select and insert your created polls into your PowerPoint slides. During the slideshow, users can join via Slido.com or scan a QR code to participate in the active poll, enhancing engagement throughout your presentation.
