Accumulative point scoring on grading feature
The option for points scoring to be the sum total based on the options a respondee chooses, so when running a report this is a total figure rather than just one of the choices they selected.
For example you have a multiple choice question with 4 possible choices, each choice is worth 25 points and respondees are able to response up to 4 times. If a respondee selects 3 options they them accrue a total of 75 pints etc.
7 votesThanks for your feedback. We’ll look into what it would take to update our reporting features for questions with multiple correct answers.

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.

Let the payment info be associated with an email other than the one for the account
Hello! I work for a gov't agency, and only a few of us have company credit cards. Because the account and payment are tied to the account login info, I have to pester the account-holder for the payment receipt every month. Please make it so that either the billing info can go to a different email address, or make it so I can be cc'd on the receipt so I don't have to bother the manager for it when I go to balance my credit card statement. Thanks for your consideration!
1 voteWe plan on adding the ability to do this. You would need to contact our support team to be added but this is on our roadmap.

Include vote results on Pivot Report for "Brainstorm" ideas results
When downloading results on a .csv file in the Pivot view, we lose the vote results from "Brainstorm" template. Can this be brought in as a field? I know the Exec Summary report right now has them but would be great to have this feature on the Pivot too.
2 votesThanks for your suggestion — we’ll look into this as we see more interest in this feature.

Group competitions
Divide the participants (or let them choose) in groups so they can compete against groups on the leaderboards rather than individually. Similar to the option for this in Turningpoint.
Group based competitiveness is increasingly applied within (higher) education.
Personally I wish to engage with my students playfully without compounding on the individual pressures which fuels the fear of failing, avoiding of risk and the negative aspects of performativity and goal-oriented behaviour which are typically already over-cultivated in (higher) education.
8 votesThanks for the suggestion, we’ve always been interested in having a group or team Competition feature. As we see more interest, we’ll look into adding it to our roadmap.

Random Question order
I have a classroom of students who sit in pairs. They have a final exam consisting of a set number of questions, that each student gets. At the moment the local exam server we run presents all questions in a random order to the students and allows the students to put problematic questions back in the pool for a later attempt.
This randomisation ensures that the students are answering each question to the best of their ability with no likelihood of being swayed by the student sitting beside them. It limits cheating or collaboration too.7 votes -
allow to set mandatory questions vs not mandatory questions
Some questions might not be mandatory to answer allowing to skip them and move to the next one

Hide/show results in class
Some instructors would like to be able to hide the poll results from their students until the poll is complete but would like to see the results themselves in real time without having to use a second device for the mobile app..
11 votesThank you for your suggestion! We’ve heard this feedback before and have plans to add this functionality to our mobile presenter app. In the meantime, there’s no workaround other than using two devices or two browser windows.

Export poll questions
Poll Everywhere should include an option for poll creators to export poll questions out of the system. This could be done via .csv file. Since poll questions can be imported into the system, there should be an option to export them as well.
14 votesWe do have data exports available for our University-Wide and Enterprise accounts. Anyone on these accounts may contact their dedicated Account Manager to get this enabled.
Otherwise, we do have a CSV export for our Executive Summary report which will have the poll title and all response options. However, the format isn’t really designed to be uploaded to another system necessarily and may need someone to manually delete certain fields to work.

CSV template to import questions for Competitions
I've had good success with Competitions already, but it would be nice if CSV template functionality was added for this category. It's a lot easier to create a poll that way.
23 votesThanks for your suggestion! We plan on adding more functionality to the CSV activity importer, which will include Competitions. We don’t have a timeline at the moment but we’ll keep you posted here.

Create teams
For the competitions, could participates select a team they would like to be a part of, or better yet, could I assign participants to specific teams for competitions.
17 votesCompetitions is our newest activity type and we’re always looking to enhance it. This one is on our radar, and we’ll look into pursuing it as there is more interest.

Add a stopwatch to the poll
Polls currenlty have the option for a timer only, so this idea could be easy to implement. There are different scenarios where a meeting room needs to time how long they spend on the current slide, for example, discussing and evaluating colleagues, then voting on the "grade". A stopwatch would allow to time without requiring a separate application to run in the forground as a timer, making Polleve a more complete package. Thanks!

Increase the size of the marker on the Emotion Scale
The marker on the Emotion Scale is to small to see. Can the size of it be increased? Or is there someway that a tally can be seen under each "smile/frown" so that the audience can see how many of them are happy/sad/angry etc.

In competitions, ability to make questions worth different number of points
In competitions, instead of each correctly answered question automatically being worth 1000 points, this value should be customizable, so questions can be worth 100, 200, 500, etc points.
Also, the option of setting incorrectly answered questions as negative points.
15 votesThanks for your suggestion. Our current goals are to try to keep Competitions as simple and easy to understand as possible for both the presenter and the audience when it comes to scoring. We have other features in the roadmap for Competitions first but we’ll definitely consider this as interest grows.

Intermediate pricing option
The pricing structure is not good for organizations that need occasional, medium-group polling. It is such a leap between 25 participants for free and 700 participants for higher costs. It would be helpful to have an option that mimics the Engage version but with fewer participants (say 100) and a lower cost.

A bit more freedom on username choice for entry level plans
As soon as we have used our username (shared with audience) we are forced, in order to be sure nobody can see what we are preparing next, to generate a new name because some user may randomly try to connect again and, with some luck access questions when we are doing some test…
Would it be possible, as soon as you start to pay, to give a bit of freedom in the username selection? Maybe, for basic account (like the one I use) forcing one word but give freedom on number?
Another way could be to add an option who…

When downloading gradebook, ALL data must be shown
In particular, when more than one answer is allowed, all those answers should be separate columns in the gradebook. right now most of the data is simply not downloaded. Also, the value someone gave needs to be downloaded, not just points, so we can see the free text. This might be a different type of report from a gradebook - the goal is a file with one row per respondent and one column per idea that includes ALL the data (numeric and text) gathered in the poll.
