One platform. Two ways to engage.
Slido offers a one-size-fits-all setup for every occasion.
Pigeonhole Live gives you two purpose-built experiences, so you can keep presentations simple and run complex events with confidence.
Presentation Pigeonhole
Create an interactive presentation in minutes. Import your slides, then add Q&A, Polls, Quizzes, and more in one seamless flow.
Click next to launch an interaction, then return to your slides without switching tools. Read the room with Reactions and bring in Q&A when needed.
Event Pigeonhole
Organise high-stakes, multi-session, and multi-track events with structured engagement and session-specific interactions. Keep everything organised with clear session-level reporting afterwards.
Give admins, moderators, and speakers the tools to work together behind the scenes, with enterprise-ready integrations built to scale.
When Q&A matters, moderation matters
Pigeonhole Live lets admin review questions backstage, while moderators see the top, curated questions in a dedicated Moderator Panel and stay focused on the conversation.
Explore Q&A →Collecting questions is easy. Running a great Q&A takes more.
Everything you need to get your audience involved
From quick pulse checks to deeper conversations, choose the interaction that fits the moment.
54 languages.
One Q&A conversation.
Slido can translate its interface, but audience questions and poll content stay in their original language.

Build a structured, interactive Agenda
Slido retired its Agenda and Sessions features and now uses Multiple Rooms for parallel sessions.
With an Event Pigeonhole, you can run multi-session, multi-track, and multi-day programmes from one Agenda, with speaker profiles, real-time updates, and dedicated Q&A, Polls, Surveys, and Reactions for every session.

More control over high-stakes Q&A conversations
Go beyond basic Q&A moderation. Give offstage admins and onstage moderators dedicated tools to manage questions together, surface what matters, and keep conversations on track.
An interactive Agenda that brings your event together
Give attendees one place to explore your event programme and participate in Q&A, Polls, and Surveys, all connected to individual sessions, even across multiple tracks and days.
The flexibility to grow with your needs
From everyday presentations to high-stakes events with up to 100,000 participants, Pigeonhole Live scales with you, with APIs and integrations to fit your existing event tech stack.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Pigeonhole Live is a good Slido alternative for both interactive presentations and more complex, multi-session events.
For presentations, a Presentation Pigeonhole lets you bring slides, Q&A, Polls, Quizzes, Reactions, and other interactions into one presentation flow. For conferences and larger events, an Event Pigeonhole adds an Agenda , session-specific engagement, backstage roles, and session-level reporting.
Both Pigeonhole Live and Slido support moderated Q&A. The main difference is how Pigeonhole Live separates the work happening backstage from the conversation happening on stage.
Admins can review and curate incoming questions behind the scenes, while moderators use a dedicated Moderator Panel to follow top and selected questions without managing the entire Q&A workflow themselves.
That division of roles is particularly useful for executive town halls, panel discussions, conferences, and other high-stakes Q&A where one person needs to focus on the conversation while another team manages what is coming in.
Yes. An Event Pigeonhole is designed for multi-session, multi-track, and multi-day events.
You can build an interactive Agenda and give individual sessions their own Q&A, Polls, Surveys, Reactions, and other engagement. Everything stays connected to the relevant session, making it easier for attendees to follow the programme and for your team to review session-level insights afterwards.
This is useful for conferences, customer events, leadership meetings, and other programmes where engagement needs to stay organised across keynotes, panels, breakouts, and parallel tracks.
Yes. Pigeonhole Live’s AI Translation supports Q&A and comments across 54 languages in real time, with up to 10 languages enabled at once.
Attendees can choose their preferred language, then read and respond to questions, answers, and comments in that language.
That means multilingual support goes beyond translating the interface. The audience-generated conversation itself can be translated, helping people take part in global town halls, international conferences, training programmes, and other multilingual events without splitting the discussion into separate Q&A channels.
Yes. Pigeonhole Live is designed to work alongside the tools you already use rather than forcing you to replace your existing setup.
For presentations, you can add audience interactions to PowerPoint and Google Slides. For virtual and hybrid sessions, Pigeonhole Live also works inside Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex.
For more customised event setups, you can use embeds, session-level URLs, and the public API to connect Pigeonhole Live with your event platforms and technology stack.
Switching from Slido starts with understanding how you use it today. A simple presentation or meeting may map naturally to Presentation Pigeonhole, while an event using multiple rooms, sessions, or stages may be better structured in Event Pigeonhole. Pigeonhole Live offers separate formats for these two types of engagement.
From there, you can recreate the Q&A, polls, and other interactions you need, organise engagement by session, define admin and moderator roles, and connect Pigeonhole Live to your existing technology through embeds or the public API.
