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.

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.
92 votesThanks for your suggestion! While we don’t have a running total currently, you can get participation % by:
1. Importing your course roster from your LMS to Poll Everywhere
2. Creating a Gradebook report for each activity you used in class on a regular basis (like daily or weekly)
3. Filtering that Gradebook report by the Participant Group
4. Exporting the Gradebook report to the LMS and selecting to send Participation rather than Correctness.Let me know if that helps. We appreciate your feedback!

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.
7 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.

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.

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…

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.

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.
10 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.

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.

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?

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.
9 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.

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…11 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

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.
