Sway code embedding
This is not a new idea. I used live slides previously and was able to embed my sway code into power point presentations for live view of sway, however I am not being able to do so with poll everywhere.
Its a very nice and important feature. But not working in poll everywhere now.1 voteThanks for your patience! We are continuing to work on this functionality. In order to embed our URL, Microsoft needs to allow it.

Easier access to Alt text fields when using graphics in questions and answer options.
Just discovered how to access Alt text fields when using graphics in questions and answer options. In these days of WCAG standards and focus on Accessibility, we should not have to go into the backend, through My Settings and find the non-intuitively labelled "Features Lab" as the way in to find and choose to turn on "Image alt-text". This needs to be built into your Poll creation interface in a more intuitive and UX-friendly way. Thanks!
3 votesThank you for your feedback! Image alt text is currently a pre-release feature, which is why it’s in the Features lab at the moment. We do not have a timeline yet, but we are planning to release it more widely.

A slider poll with multiple sentences/questions.
Coming from Mentimeter which has it flaws, I was disappointed to be able to use only one slider with question per poll. It would be great to have several. Also great if you can show the voting frequencies behind the slider position as sometimes there are multiple populations. Mentimeter does this very well.

Cascading answers
I'd like to collect answers on the first poll slide and allow upvotes (current functionality).
Then I'd like the top X number to be automagically available in the next poll slide so that people can add short answers.
Use case:
Survey: What excuses do your prospects say when you cold call them?
(respond and upvote)
New Poll with top 5 upvoted answers: OK, how would you respond to each of these excuses?1 voteThanks for your suggestion! As a current solution, we recommend locking the Q&A activity and then using the spotlight feature, which is the star icon on each answer, to focus on one response at a time.

This is a great platform. My family is using it for family trivia night.
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…

A Custom Response based on a right or wrong answer
I'm running a program that would like to reveal clues based on a right answer. For example if a right answer is given I would like to give an automatic response with a "correct" but also respond with a "your next clue is hotdog". If a wrong answer is given the automatic response would read "wrong answer".

Respond directly to written poll submissions individually in writing, using the poll, visible to all
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…

Utilize videos (MP5) for questions
I have a need to create questions which include short video clips. It would be nice to have this option available.

In the meantime, I recommend using our slideware apps for PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides to share a Poll Everywhere activity right after a video in your presentation. Learn more at polleverywhere.com/app

Open ended questions
Currently, is difficult to manually grade "open ended" questions. It would be wonderful to assign "correctness" to these type of questions. Open ended questions allow for a higher level of thinking than multiple choice but it is time consuming to calculate grades when not included in a report.

Display "view responses" in order
Display "view responses" for participants in order that survey was given; not time question was answered. Also allow participants to view individual surveys, not just a running tab of all answers. Currently, this is difficult for students to check their work and it is difficult for them to use "view responses" as a "key" or study guide for future reference.

Display clean results on website
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.

Restrict ability to respond to polls based on the group assignments
I teach several sections of the same class, and would find it helpful not to have to replicate polls for each of the sections. I have the ability to group the students based on sections, so is there a way to assign a poll to a specific group (instead of having to create new polls and deactive old polls)?
6 votesThank you for your suggestion! We’ll look into building the ability to assign activities per participant group as we see more customer interest.

Add other options to Competition Feature
Right now you can only use multiple choice in the competition feature. It would be great if you could add in other types like clickable image and any others that could have "correct" answers.

Cursor scrolls to the top of the page when FAQ is clicked
The cursor should go to the correct "expanded" Answer when you click an FAQ question. Instead it goes right to the top, and you have to scroll down to find your answer. Please verify and update, thanks! (On a Windows 10 laptop)
1 voteThanks for your suggestion! We will look into updating our FAQ page. In the meantime, I recommend visiting polleverywhere.com/support to find the most up to date documentation and guides.

Put back the ability to export poll screenshots directly from the Activity page!
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…
1 voteThank you for feedback! We understand the extra steps it takes to download a screenshot from the response history page with segmentation.
We recommend using your computer’s native screenshot functionality to save the activity visual without leaving the page.

Would it be possible to have a sticky note response in the future?
When students respond, their answer shows up as a sticky note on the screen. Like Jamboard but in Jamboard students have the ability to change other students answers. I think you have a much better product and this would be a great response idea for students!

Weighted grading settings
I grade my students based on participation and correctness both (1 point for participation, another for correctness). I've been using the weighted grading options to give 2 points to the correct answer and 1 point to the wrong ones, but I wish I could simply set all my polls to automatically always do this.
1 voteThank you for your feedback! Weighted grading is currently in beta so we’ll take that into consideration.

Ability to refresh placeholder image on google slides.
Currently, placeholder images are not changeable, and if I change the wording of my pollev question after creating a slide, the placeholder image on that slide will be inconsistent with the question shown in the live presentation.
I'd suggest adding a refresh option in the context menu of the image. That is, I'd like to right click the image, select "refresh pollev image" and then the image would refresh to reflect the latest status of the linked pollev question.

Increase font size range on word clouds
The current appearance seems to have 4 different font sizes in the word cloud. When an idea has 30 matches and others are only at 4 or 5, a MUCH larger font size would better represent that, contrasting the smaller ones. Even a range of 8 sizes would be a significant improvement to determine popularity in a given data set. Ideally I would like a range of 12 or more.
