Slido alternative

Slido alternative: interactive decks the room actually joins

Slido adds polls and Q&A to slides you build somewhere else. Engage Decks is the presentation and the interaction in one editor, so your questions sit between your slides instead of in a second tool.

Where Engage Decks is strong

One tool, not two

Build the slides and the questions in the same place. No add-in to install, no window to switch to in front of the room.

The deck builds itself

Describe the talk and Engage drafts the whole deck, with the first question early and quizzes after each idea is taught.

Arabic that looks right

Right-to-left slides, Arabic type, and audience answers translated live between Arabic and English.

Switching takes a few minutes

Import your deck. Drop in the PowerPoint or PDF you already present.
Add the questions. Put a poll, quiz or Q&A slide between any two slides.
Present live. A code and QR appear on screen and the room joins from their phones.
