Results presentation per participant
I am using polls in my teaching and that would be great if i could present Survey responses per participant and not question by question,
For example: If survey has four question a, b, c, d and there are 2 participants X, Y I want to present first responses to all questions submitted by X, then all responses submitted by Y.3 votesThanks for your suggestion! We’ll look into this idea with more user interest.

Build a feature for tracking attendence
We badly need this feature. The current workaround for taking attendance is clunky. May I suggest add a scan QR feature in the Poll Everywhere App? Right now, if I set up a poll, and get the QR code, students scan it, but it will open in a web browser, so they have to re-login. We require our students to stay login in the App.
Why QR code? We need to use the big screen for the presentation. QR code is easier to be posted in the classroom, and it also forces the students to be onsite, so they can…10 votesWe built the QR code feature as a way for participants to join a presentation quickly without having to type a pollev.com/username.
We have a feature that is available on all premium education accounts called “Hide activity titles” which was designed to encourage students to physically be in the classroom by not displaying the title of any activity questions on the participant site or app. We encourage using this for attendance and participation credit: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/response-settings/activity-title-blocker

Participation% total for course
Please add a running total for all polls used in the course, students want to know what proportions of polls they have answered so they know how they are doing. Professors are using Polleverywhere for participation. This total participation % should be easy to sync with LMS with a click or on a daily/weekly automated schedule.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We will look into this further as we see more customer interest.

Allow multi-line textual responses
The "open-ended" response type allows arbitrary textual response, but only one line of text. For complex answers, including answers that may including tables or diagrams, one line is not sufficient. I would like to request an option (perhaps presented to the user as an "allow long answers" checkbox on the open-ended response type) that will allow the user to insert newlines and construct multiline responses.
3 votesThank you for your feedback! Given the limited space on the results view, we’ve had to limit response lengths on open-ended questions but we will look into this suggestion as we see more customer interest.

Add a confirmation to "Clear Responses"
Because "clear responses" cannot be undone, please add a confirmation button (You've asked to clear responses. Your action cannot be undone. Would you like to continue? <Yes> <No>).
One can too easily hit the wrong button, which is what happened to me and I lost all of my data. This is something that should have already been in place.
8 votesSorry for that experience. Please contact support@polleverywhere.com so we can get that data back for you. It isn’t deleted but it is archived within the Reports feature.
We give that confirmation when clearing responses from the activities list. However, we do not show that confirmation when clearing from the live presentation to make the presentation run more smoothly without extra pop-ups.

Duplicate activity from edit page (currently only available in activity list)
As far as I can tell you are only able to duplicate an activity from the main groups and activities list (available when you click POLLS from the main menu). It would be helpful if you were able to duplicate an activity from the open activity page (where you save the activity). Example, for an election, you run the activity full screen and show results, now you have to remove some of the options and run it again (and again, and again until there is a winner). It is easier to track the order of polls taken by duplicating the…

Use screen name instead of arrow on clickable images.
On clickable images, use screen names instead of just an arrow or marker that way you have the option of knowing who put what in your activity. Makes it more personable.
4 votesWe’ve considered creating a new activity type with initials instead of the arrow on clickable images. We’ll keep you posted with updates, especially as we see more interest in the feature.

Currently you can decide on a left, right, or center placement for your logo next to the title of the activity. You can do this from Visual Settings on the right side of your activity.
1. Open the Title menu
2. Scroll down to Logo and Alignment
3. Select the alignment you preferWe’re open to investigating what it would take to add more customization. What placements and sizing do you have in mind?

Percentage breakdown of combination of answer choices
In MCQs, where multiple choices are correct, breakdown of individual choices is given. It would be great if % of the responses for particular combination would be shown.
For eg. if one person voted for A and B choices, and the other person voted for B & C, the breakdown provided is for
A - 50%
B-100%
C-50 %
It would be nice to have % breakdown of all possible combinations.
(A,B) - 50%
(B,C) - 50%4 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’ll look into this as we see more customer interest.

Allow to change usernames in bulk through the admin account.
This reduces the amount of time having to log in to each user account to adapt to a new url if needed.
11 votesWe love the idea and we’d be interested in building this someday for certain premium accounts. We’ll definitely revisit as we see more interest.

Only show top 3-5 top performers in competition as opposed to everyone
This way those who end up last or near the bottom don't feel humiliated.
1 voteThank you for the feedback. Competitions is our newest activity type so we’re always looking to improve. We’ll consider this as more requests come in.

Poll type that can record a timestamp of the audience when being shown a video.
Getting the audience to log time staps on their device and visualize the average of the group. I would then want to compare to the average audience opinion when shown another video.
1 voteGreat idea, we’re always looking for new activity types. Embedding videos is not on our short-term roadmap right now, but we hope to get to it one day.

save word cloud
After "clearing" results for Word Cloud to prepare for next batch of audience responses, I need a way to back to archived version of word cloud and be able to export or download word cloud image.
10 votesRight now we’ll load the screenshot of the Word cloud in an Executive summary report, but we know that is smaller than ideal. We will definitely look into what it would take to add the ability to download larger screenshots of archived Word clouds.

Report and archived run changes
Can you please consider adding the functionality to run reports on multiple runs, AND to tease out data from one archived run that should have been split into two?
5 votesThanks for the suggestion. We’ll consider adding this to our roadmap in the future.

Add Feature for Open Questions
Enable a feature that requires a poller to respond to a question before moving on to the next one.
1 voteWe currently don’t have plans to add required questions to a Survey activity. If we hear more requests for it, we’ll consider adding this to our roadmap.

Integrate with Microsoft Teams as an app
There is a strong need to be able to control the forum of people voting/comment but doing so in an anonymous way. There is no great way to do this in Microsoft Teams and the only apps available that support this are TinyPulse and other competitors. Microsoft Teams is important because it's used in enterprise scenarios and already can control access to various groups etc.
I use PollEverywhere regularly with my organization of almost 100 people. Being able to extend it's usage to garner feedback asynchronously and anonymously outside of meeting rooms and presentations would really take it to the…
17 votesOur partners at Microsoft have completed the custom API work we needed to fully integrate. Development is finishing this week for our first iteration for an MS Teams integration. This first iteration will allow creating, presenting, and replying to multiple choice activities within MS Teams. Support for our other activity types will be added over time depending on interest.
We will be contacting everyone who signed up for early information at http://polleverywhere.com/microsoft-teams once testing is completed.
We expect this to be completed before the end of August. However, a lot can happen during testing. For example, if another API issue arises like before, we will have to go back and work with Microsoft’s engineering team to complete. Stay tuned for updates. Thanks!

Add more languages (e.g. Afrikaans)
Please add the ability to localise/translate the UI easily into other languages than those currently supported. I'm mostly presenting to an Afrikaans audience, using Afrikaans slides, and would therefore also like to have the instructions, etc. in Afrikaans. This of course, also apply to other unsupported languages. Thank you!
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We’ll look into this.

Allow inserted videos to begin mid-stream
The feature to insert YouTube and other videos into presentations is great, but often one wants to start the video at some other point than the beginning. Please add a feature that allows a video to begin at a specified number of seconds into it!
1 voteWe plan to do this for inserted videos — we don’t have a timeline yet but it’s on our radar. Thanks!

Chat Feature?
Hi, I see the Chat feature discussion from 2015, but it doesn't fully address my needs. I'd like a CHAT feature in Poll Everywhere (PE) - just like Zoom has. In fact, that's the only reason I use Zoom over PE. The CHAT feature allows webinar participants an opportunity to ask questions, add comments, etc. Please incorporate this to Poll Everywhere. Thank you.
1 voteThanks! We’ve been looking into this as well and will keep you posted on our progress.
