The first step for using Slido polling is to create a new “Slido” event.  Once a Slido event is created, poll questions can be added, settings can be customized, and features can be enabled/disabled.

# Instructions:

1. Navigate to [Slido.com](http://Slido.com) and login via your Webex account.
2. From the Slido home page, click **Create Slido**.

4. Then click** Create Slido**.
