Sidekick This tutorial video walks you through using the Pick Me feature in Sidekick Pro, a fast and flexible way to randomly select from a list of names, items, or numbers—supporting up to 10,000 entries at once!
You’ll learn how to create a new Pick Me document, name it, and add entries one at a time, in bulk (including pasting multi-column data straight from a check-in system), or by using AI to instantly generate a list—like 100 random first names or numbered tickets from 1 to 200. The video shows how to customize the “ready to pick” text, and how to use the right-hand sidebar controls to toggle sound effects, hide the last item so the same entry can’t be picked twice, and show or reset removed items with a single click.
You’ll also see how to preview the next winner, generate a new random winner, or manually pre-select a specific winner using the Pick Winner option. The video demonstrates adding your Pick Me document to a full presentation and running it live, as well as practical use cases like ticket drawings with AI-generated number lists. By the end, you’ll be ready to use Pick Me for choosing students, running giveaways, drawing raffle tickets, or any moment where you need to randomly select from a set of options.
