As private citizens using this for personal polls/surveys for our family trivia night, this is a great solution for us!

None of your plans offered are tailored for personal use like this however. With 8 people playing and setting up their questions, we're not going to pay $45 a month each for access to advanced features. If you had plans for people like us that were under $5 a month with some advanced features, we would likely exercise that option. Seems like an opportunity for an additional revenue stream related to another use case. If it were marketed correctly, there are probably tons of personal uses. People are always looking for ways to distribute polls/surveys among friends and family and the available solutions (facebook messenger, google meets, webex, zoom, etc. are all less than ideal).

Thanks,

I would like there to be a kind of poll (or a modification to the existing Q&A or Open Ended polls) that I can use as a presenter which would allow me to type back responses to the audience submissions that come in! (Example: my pinned Q & A poll is a way for me to let students ask me questions during lecture. Some of them, I answer out loud during lecture. Others, I would like to type a response back to the student for everyone with access to the poll to be able to see.) Ideally, I'd like to respond to individual entries (either as an indented line below the original response, or maybe even just the ability to edit the responses so that I can put my words after theirs), but really any way to provide written responses that are visible on the poll itself would be a useful improvement. Thank you!

I’m now using mmhmm to “mix” my webcam, slide show, and a virtual background before pushing out video to Zoom etc. I like the control it gives me over almost everything - except Polleverywhere. If I share a full desktop, it works, even when I use Keynote’s “play in window” function (which I have to, if I want to see anything of the Zoom interface etc.). BUT - if I click on anything other than Keynote - like the Zoom chat or something - PollEverywhere won’t display in the Keynote show until I exit it, and restart on that slide.

I’m trying to come up with a workaround that’s graceful, but so far all I have is:

1) exit the keynote “play in window”, and restart, or
2) switch to the polleverywhere website in a web browser, and display the poll full-screen.

Both require switching and are a bit inelegant, but could be made much easier I suspect… especially the website, which doesn’t allow a good display version except if it’s shown full-screen. Any chance your guys could be working on a fix for that??

Because of course we all love Polleverywhere because it works smoothly within our slide decks. Only now that we’re in a virtual world, it kinda doesn’t anymore…

It's completely inefficient--particularly when segmenting polls with multiple other polls--to have to go to the "Response History" page to simply download a screenshot. The new method requires the user to leave the activity screen, go to the Response History, export the screenshot, go back to the activity screen, wait for the lengthy time it takes for the segmentation tool to reload all polls, select the new segmentation poll, and start the process all over again (just getting the segmentation drop-down to populate fully takes forever, and now users have to wait for that population each and every time they return from the "Response History" page).

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 participate in the poll.

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 poll rather than searching through various runs of various activities. After displaying results, hit escape, hit duplicate button (if it was there), edit options, save and run full screen, all without having to go back to the list and then back into the duplicated question. Note - duplicate would go to end of list in current group where it goes now.
