    This is available as of today! We have a new Download Screenshot button at the top of the My Poll page. Click the checkbox to choose which polls > select Download screenshot > and a zip file with your selected polls will begin to download.

    Note: This currently does not support ie9 or Safari

  3. Keyboard shortcuts during full screen mode

    I want a Presentation Mode with keyboard shortcuts that allows me to go full screen with my polls and present without the overlayed menu showing up when i use the mouse to select items.

    If you are on a Windows PC you may use F11 to go into full screen mode from the website. For Mac and certain web browsers you may still need to use the mouse to go into full screen mode.

    Once you’re in full screen though – you can use the Keyboard shortcuts outlined at this link to go from poll to poll and to change certain chart settings: http://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/788328

  6. Time Response Filtering

    Hi, I would really appreciate the possibility to configure a time response filter in order to validate the answer.

    I mean that I would like to consider only the answer that has been provided within a few seconds, for example 5sec.

    This would allow to get stats on unconscious answers.

    Hmm…interesting idea. We have a few tools to do this right now. I would recommend

    - Our timer feature. This is a countdown timer that you may set on any poll to immediately lock the poll (prevent more responses) after a certain time limit. You can read more about it here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#countdown_timer

    - Or, you can use our Reporting Feature to filer based on the time that responses were received. For this I would recommend our Response Pivot Table to easily and quickly filter the responses by time and determine who responded in your set limit. You can read more about it here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#reporting

  7. Customisable PollEv Page

    I think it would be really useful if users could customise the look and feel of their pollev page. It's great to be able to customise the poll page for the presenter in order for it to be brand compliant with our company. I think it would make an even bigger impression on audiences if you could customise the pollev page to have the same or similar look and feel to what they are seeing on the presenter's screen. The tool that is used to customise the polls works well and should be applied to the pollev page so that…

  8. Count only the most recent answer

    Currently, answering multiple times means multiple entries per person. It would be more useful to me if students could change their answers, with the most recent answer replacing the previous one(s). I'd use this when results are hidden.
    It's true that I can look at their results afterward and filter out the previous answers, but the feature I'm requesting would both (1) make that a simpler process and (2) make the display of results (when shown) more accurate.

    Our Change Answer feature is now available! Students may now click “Clear Responses” at the bottom of the page to change their original answer. And, if they are using text message – they may text Clear or Undo to the same number to change their response. Tell us what you think!

  9. Latex in question and not just answer?

    Can you allow latex in the question and not only the answer choices? Please. Pretty please. With sugar on top. And sprinkles, definitely sprinkles.

    We got it! You can now have inline LaTeX in the title of the poll question, in the answer choices, and they will display on the pollev web response page (including surveys) for your students.

    You can use the TeX shorthand of $$ to enter your equation.

    1. click the Create Poll button
    2. Type your question $$ your equation in LaTeX $$ the rest of your question
    3. click Create and you are done

    You can see detailed instructions and screenshots for how here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/891297

    Remember to start your question or answer option with “$$:” so we know to convert it properly.

    Hi,

    You asked for it and we got it :)

    On any Multiple Choice Poll you can add an image to the question. This will be on the Instructions View. To add the image you can do the following:
    1. Open your multiple choice poll
    2. Click on the visual settings icon. This is the grey button that looks like a paintbrush . This will open the Visual Settings Menu
    3. Click on the Instructions View Settings menu within Visual Settings
    4. And, click on the blue Choose button to add an image.
    5. When you want to show the results, click on the green eye to Show/Hide results

  13. Integration with Google Drive

    Hey Poll Everywhere!! I absolutely love this product and have used it many times during sessions that I lead with teachers and administrators around the state of Michigan as an ed tech consultant. The issue is that I'm a Google Gal all the way...in fact, I'm even a Google Glass Explorer! Any chance you'll be integrating your services with Google Drive anytime soon so that one could embed polls into Google Presentations? That would be awesome sauce right there.

    Cheers!

  14. Add A Live Updating Leaderboard for Team Competitions

    The current segmentation feature doesn't allow me to view a live visual of which team is in the lead. It would be nice if there was a live view that could be embedded into PowerPoint.

  15. The clickable images need a response counter in the bottom corner

    I absolutely love the clickable images. One problem though is that the number of responses only show up in the regions I've selected to count, and I generally hide those initially so that students can't click where everyone else is clicking. But then there is no tally of responses like on other polls when the results are hidden. I'd love to see a corner tally just like other polls, so I know about when to reveal the click locations/location tallies.

    We have it! We have a total response counter for clickable image polls. You may now hide the click markers, the clickable regions, and display a general count for the number of total responses for the poll. Here’s how:

    1. Click on the title of the poll question to open it
    2. Click on the Visual Settings menu – the grey paintrbush icon on the top right
    3. Then click the checkbox for “Show total results” at the bottom

    This will display the total number of responses on the bottom right of the poll display.

  16. Create an option to set "Hide Results" as the default screen

    "Show Chart" is the current default when going full screen. I don't like to show all the live answers students submit because they'll usually just pick what everyone else is picking. I keep "Hide Results" displayed until all results are submitted, then switch over to "Show Chart" to discuss the results.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for your interest and feedback!

    This is currently possible. Just toggle the Hide Results on. Next time you visit that poll question, it’ll be in the hidden results view by default.

  17. Create a new poll from open ended responses

    How can I select the best responses from one poll and then ask my students which response was the best?

  18. I LOVE PE. Color combinations on the web pages are an issue.

    Sometimes the color combinations on your pages are hard to read. For example, the current notification of some new feature was broadcast in a big red banner across the top of the web page and the red banner had black text. This is VERY hard to read. You need to use contrasting colors.

    Thanks

    You know what? You’re so right. I’m going to fix that right now.

    We have a background color that’s changing from light grey to red the closer we get to the deadline. The contrast started out OK, but now it’s bad.

  19. Use QR Codes

    Hi

    An idea to get users to easily browse to the relevant private link for a specific poll is to make a QR code display as part of the poll instructions. That way the the user can easily take a picture of the slide and get the direct link on their phone.

    Then they also don't need to enter a complicated code.

    For example see here:

    Just an idea.

    Regards

    Louis

  20. Add upload capability

    I would like to see PE add upload capability.

    I would like to be able to review test questions with my students but don't want to have to retype all questions.

    If an upload format could be established it would be great to cut and paste from an existing multiple choice test into PE for presentation of questions to a class.

    Maybe the format could be question/first answer/second answer/third answer etc.
