Answer option display in PC
Answer options are truncated when displaying with PC-PowerPoint, while being shown in full with other devices. Please fix!
4 votesThank you for your request! In certain circumstances we truncate long answer choices to optimize space when there are many answers available or images taking up space on screen. When participants are answering they can see the full answer choices on their device screens, however we understand that their eyes are likely on the presentation, not on their own device. As a result we have an update planned to enable presenters to hover the cursor over truncated answers choices to display the full text. We anticipate this update will be released in summer 2024.
Thank you again for providing this feedback and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or ideas. Thank you!

Wrap text with LaTeX formatting
Text with LaTeX formatting does not wrap in all areas and sometimes scales down to fit on a single line. Specifically, response options do not wrap.
This results in readability issues due to the small text size.
Enabling wrapping for LaTeX text in all areas will improve readability and consistency across the product.
1 voteHello and thank you for your submission! We are in the process of releasing our visual chart redesign. We will be addressing LaTex wrapping with this release. For now as a workaround I would recommend changing the font size to a smaller size in order for it to fit within the screen. Thank you again for providing this feedback and please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do to help.

For multiple choice, there should be a gradebook report option to count multiple correct answers.
For multiple choice, there should be a gradebook report option to actually count multiple correct answers. Currently, if someone chooses any correct answer, they get a point awarded, and if they choose two correct answers, they still just get one point awarded. But it makes more sense to have an option (maybe through a tick-box on the question itself) that multiple correct answers should aggregate scores. So if there are two correct answers, each worth one point, someone who chooses just one should get one point, but someone who chooses both should get two points. (This should also come with…
4 votesHello and thank you for your feedback! We do have some improvements planned in our Product Roadmap for grading. Also, depending on your plan, we do have Weighted Grading available as a beta feature.
I hope this helps but if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@polleverywhere.com.

Automatic DEactivation of final poll question on PowerPoint slide advance, and greater flexibility for automatic deactivation
It would be extremely helpful if there were an option to deactivate a poll question upon advancing to the next non-poll slide in a PowerPoint presentation, without exiting presenter mode. (Currently a poll only deactivates if the next slide is also a poll; that means the final poll is left active if no intentional action is taken.) That way I wouldn't have to remember to manually lock the last poll before moving onto the next (non-poll) slide of my PowerPoint, thus reducing the number of moving parts I have to think about when teaching/presenting. It's an entirely common-sense suggestion, and…
2 votesThank you for your feedback! We do have automatic deactivation in our product roadmap but since it will require a larger update we don't have any kind of timeline at the moment. Thank you again for your submission!

Move QR codes out of Beta
The QR code feature has been in the beta feature for like 3 years now, but is now even more indispensable when students are responding to polls from a mobile device maybe in addition to accessing live teaching remotely on their computer. How about mainstreaming this and making it an easier/default feature for already time-poor and high-stressed lecturers? Instructions for the Beta route: https://support.polleverywhere.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260804261070-QR-codes
5 votesThanks for your feedback! We are working on bringing QR codes out of beta. Are there any specific features or settings you'd like to see related to it?

Support for Searching/Filtering Activities
Maybe I am just missing it I do not see a way to search or filter activities. Just a title based search would be extremely helpful. Please add a search functionality to Activities page.
11 votesHi there, thank you for your feedback! We removed the search function with the new organization system and Folders. A new version of search is definitely on our roadmap.

Bug: Option to Visual Settings Missing in PowerPoint Controller
When I run the activities from the website, i.e. full screen, I can see the option to Visual setting in the controller. But this option is missing when I am inserting the activities into my PowerPoint and presenting the slides.
1 voteThank you for your feedback! Apologies for any inconvenience. We are aware of this and working to resolve it. I will keep you posted here as I get updates from the team.

Improve Screenshot Options
Your screenshot tool is not intuitive or overly useful. I tried following your instructions to insert activity screen shots into a new PPT, and the inserted slide has blank data.
There is no way to indicate or select a specific run or data set, so if your runs are archived, you can't insert into PPT.
And the screen shot I pull from the Word Cloud activity from the response section isn't usable. The screen shot has the message "no images received" on top the image.
We are holding employee engagement sessions, and asking the same questions multiple times. I was…
2 votesThank you for your feedback! We really appreciate it and understand the issue you’re running into. This is a bug that we are working to resolve. Sorry for the inconvenience! I’ll circle back with updates as soon as I have them.

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. You can see a similar request here: https://sway.uservoice.com/forums/264674-sway-suggestion-box/suggestions/40674817-whitelist-request-university-tenancy-level

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Clarify the two uses of the word "group"
Poll Everywhere uses "group" to mean "group" of questions AND "group" of collaborators. This gets confusing. It would be ideal if these features used different names. How about "Team" of collaborators? or something like that.
1 voteThank you for the feedback! Yes. I and Poll Everywhere agree one hundred percent as we regret that naming scheme as well.
We have begun work on a project around Sharing Polls with other presenters and part of this work will involve changes to our User Group feature. This is a large project for us that will be a months yet, but changing the name is part of our current plan.
So, stay tuned! And, we’ll be posting here and looking for beta testers for that in time.
Thanks again!

Allow group members to copy questions to the entire group of collaborators instead of writing finding each email address one by one.
We have faculty working with a group of TAs. The faculty regularly share a group of questions to TAs and would like to share to all of them by searching for the name of the group rather than searching and adding each group member.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! We are beginning work on a project we hope will address these sorts of collaboration issues. The goal is to allow one person to share a selection of their poll questions with a User Group who will all be able to present, but not edit, those polls.
There’s plenty more to it than that and lots of details, but that is it in a nutshell.
Thanks again for the feedback and stay tuned for more information on that project. We’ll be posting about in the next few months.

Adding language support to the PollEv Response Page (currently affects only the poll slidesn not the web page people go to)
the languages change currently affects only the poll slides and not the web page people go to to submit their response.
4 votesThis is part of a long term plan for us. However, localizing the language for the response page is a significant effort for us because of just how many errors, warnings, and other general text that we display. That is why we began with the Response Instructions on the slide.
I can’t say when we’ll get there, but we hear you. Thanks for the feedback!

Give access only to the attending students.
It would be great if only the attending students can response to the active survey or quiz. If a student is registered in the class, he still can take the survey even though he is not attending the class. This feature will be very helpful in taking the class attendance. I would recommend having an access code for each survey displayed on the board. Attending students only can see it and type it in to access the survey. This feature can be added to the survey setting, such as Restrict to participants with access code only.
16 votesWe’ve discussed a few different ways we might do this. I’d like to ask if this would work for you:
If the title of the question is not displayed on the mobile device, so the only was a student could know what you are asking is if they can see the chart, would that be sufficient for you?
It isn’t fool proof, but we’re a little hesitant to add in the complexity to reply that it takes to enter a long, rotating code. There’s just a balance we’re trying to strike between ease of replying and preventing any cheating.

Re the "empty the poll" button
The button for emptying the poll is right next to the one for locking
the poll. When I lock the poll I am usually in a hurry (like in a
class), and I made a mistake hitting the wrong button (and the buttons
look similar enough when the instructor is in a hurry). I think it would
be best for the emptying button to be in a separate place (like at the
bottom where the recycle bin is usually located).If emptying the poll is undoable (until saved?), that would be a
great feature to have, I think.
1 voteWe are looking into moving some of these options around to help prevent any innocent mistakes like this. We just want to be careful about doing it. Our current focus is largely on the hard Delete button. But, Clear/Archive is on our shortlist.
Thanks for the feedback!

Does Poll Everywhere intend to create an email-alert list for admins that announces performance issues and outages? While the status page is
Does Poll Everywhere intend to create an email-alert list for admins that announces performance issues and outages? While the status page (https://status.polleverywhere.com/) is quite helpful, it would be more helpful to also have an email-alert list for admins when issues like this occur so we can be proactive and contact our users to let them know about these issues. Solely relying on the status page is not ideal since admins will either have to monitor it regularly to keep aware of issues, or, in the lease ideal case, admins will have to check the status page whenever a…
3 votesI can understand this completely Joe. We subscribe to multiple type lists ourselves. We are currently finishing up a process of changing services for all of our support and email services which has put a pause on introducing more support features until that settles down.
This is definitely something we plan on implementing, I’ll bring this up to the team and see about when and some of the details for how.
