If you present in PowerPoint and want live polls, quizzes and Q&A without leaving your deck, Slido for PowerPoint is one option. This guide shows how to install it, what the free plan allows, and where it falls short. We also compare it with other PowerPoint add-ins, including our own, AhaSlides.
Slido add-in for PowerPoint: what you need to know
Slido for PowerPoint is an integration that adds Slido polls, quizzes and Q&A to your slides. Slido is now part of Cisco and Webex, but the PowerPoint integration is still a separate download from Slidoδικό του ιστότοπο.
- It is not in the PowerPoint add-in store. You download an installer from Slido and run it on the computer you present from. Your colleagues need to install it too.
- Windows and Mac are supported. Slido lists Windows 10 22H2 or later with PowerPoint 2016 or newer, and macOS 12 (Monterey) or later with PowerPoint 2019 or newer.
- PowerPoint Online is not supported. Slido says it does not currently support PowerPoint Online, so you need the desktop app.
- Participants need nothing. They join with a code, QR code or link.
The free Basic plan allows up to 100 participants, with up to three polls and one quiz per Slido event, according to Slido’s community answers. Paid annual plans lift those limits. Check Slido for PowerPoint for the current requirements before you install.
Πώς να χρησιμοποιήσετε το Slido πρόσθετο για το PowerPoint
- Πηγαίνετε στο Slido for PowerPoint and click “Download for free”.
- Run the installer and follow the prompts. Close and reopen PowerPoint afterwards.
- Open a presentation and click the Slido button in the PowerPoint toolbar. Sign in or create a Slido λογαριασμός.
- Choose an activity from the Slido panel, such as a poll or quiz, type your question and add it. Each one becomes a new slide.

If the button does not show up, check that your PowerPoint version meets the requirements above and that the integration was installed on the computer you are presenting from.
Slido add-in alternatives for PowerPoint
If you need PowerPoint on the web, a store-based install, or a free plan with more room, these are the main options. The table uses each vendor’s own pages, checked on October 14, 2026.

How to use the AhaSlides add-in for PowerPoint
The AhaSlides add-in embeds live slides from your AhaSlides account into your deck. It works with every AhaSlides slide type, so polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A and the rest all run inside PowerPoint.
- In PowerPoint, open the Home tab, select Add-ins, then More Add-ins. On older versions, use Insert, then Get Add-ins.
- Search for “AhaSlides” and click Add.
- In the add-in, click Log in. It opens your browser so you can connect your AhaSlides account, then returns you to PowerPoint.
- Select the presentation you want, tick the slides you need and click Add slides. To add the whole presentation as one PowerPoint slide, use the three-dot menu and choose Add presentation.
- Present as normal. When you reach an AhaSlides slide, participants join from their phones with a QR code or link.
A few limits to know. The add-in runs in the PowerPoint desktop app on Windows and Mac, not in PowerPoint for the web, and it needs PowerPoint 2019 or later. The free AhaSlides plan covers up to 50 participants, with up to 5 quiz questions and 3 poll questions per presentation. For the full steps, see the AhaSlides add-in guide.
