Need for seamless open ended polls
I really miss the opportunity to make a openended session (e.g. wordcloud) seamless.
As it is now it is all to much of a mess to moderate incomming words. As I understand it I need an extra device to moderate "on the fly"?
Why not make a sollution that one can make on the computer one uses anyway?
I suggest split screens.

Formatting for competiton questions
Competition questions:
1) Remove the pollev.com message at the top of the screen (replace with custom url message)
2) Screen Names
a) ability to toggle off random screen names ?
b) ability to toggle random names to numbered names (guest 1, guest 2, etc…) ?
c) ability for admin user to provide alternate list of “client appropriate” random names (for non – registered users)3) Option to not allow duplicate “user entered” screen names (sorry, that name is already taken for this session)

Build in the essential function of peer-instruction pedagogy-partnering students with people who have different responses. There is substantial empirical evidence in research that supports peer instruction pedagogy--when students are not given the answer but have to work it out with someone who might think differently from them. It improves depth and transfer of learning.

scroll
Make scroll bar bigger when presenting Open Text response questions. Currently when presenting polls on Chrome or Firefox the right scroll bar (see screenshots) is very, very, thin, and difficult to click on to scroll.

Add error messages!
I found I was unable to put <b> (the correct answer) as a response and save my competition. While the support team was great and got back to me quickly, there should really be an notification on screen that what I'm trying is not allowed; instead of just having the page not to anything at all when I click save 40 times!

Instructions and Response
Let questions default to instruction mode when placed in PPT and reused. Even after clearing responses and synching, it defaults to response mode.

Offer an option to include voting instructions on top of the poll title
Currently i hide the default instructions and need to create a powerpoint text box to get voting instructions top justified
2 votesWe do now have a way to align the instructions on the Left, Center, or Right of the poll display. But, they do remain immediately beneath the title of the poll question. We’re always working to expand the customization of the poll chart and we will get there someday.
Until then, if you go to Visual Settings (the paintrbush icon at the top of the page) > then select the "How to respond’ menu to expand it > you can select to Left, Center, or Right Align the instructions.
Otherwise, if you are using our PowerPoint integration – you can actually resize where the poll image is displayed and enter the text anywhere you want. Here’s how:

Include group names in the searched text
The searched text only looks at the text in the polls. If it also searched on the group names, then this would help me limit the number of polls show on the My Polls page.

live web pages - don't show PDFs?
Hi there,
Love the idea of being able to embedd live websites into my presentation, however, it doesn't seem to work when the page I point to has a pdf in it (the site I was pointing to that didn't work is: https://www.liv.asn.au/PDF/For-Lawyers/Ethics/5-04-12---CAP--guideline-(approved-by-LIV-Council- )

Please consider adding a New Zealand texting number (0064)
Yes we can text to the Aussie number, but my students will not be able to afford the international txting fee for an 0061 number.
2 votesWe’re always on the look out for new phone numbers. If our two Australian based numbers are all causing international texting fees we’ll definitely be on the look out with our sms providers for a local number.
Unfortunately, they don’t have one just yet but we’ll be first in line when it becomes available.

Ability to resize custom clickable image polls
The polling space is way larger than the custom image that I want to use, so it would be helpful if I were able to resize the image once I upload.
2 votesIs the clickable image poll too large when you are displaying the image on your projector/big screen or is it too large when displayed on your participant’s cell phones?
Currently, we try to auto-size the images to fit the space as large as possible by default. One potential workaround you might try is to use an image editor like Microsoft Paint and actually include some white space as a border around the image.

2 votesAre you interested in getting a screenshot of the poll results into PowerPoint? Basically the same thing that we display on the live poll. Or, a report?
If a screenshot of the results, we do have a pre-built way to insert the screenshots of polls directly into a PowerPoint presentation from our PowerPoint app. Here’s how:
1. install our powerpoint app at polleverywhere.com/app
2. once installed, click on the Poll Everywhere tab in the top right of PowerPoint
3. select Insert → Screenshot
4. then select the poll questions that you would like to insert the screenshots for directly into PowerPointWe have some more info here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/blog/new-powerpoint-placeholder/

Ability to adjust Fonts, etc within the multiple choice options
Would like the ability to adjust fonts, colors, size, underline, etc in the multiple choice options. This would be useful in grammar type questions, when we want people to notice the differences in the multiple choice options.
2 votesThere is a workaround that I might suggest, let me know if this could work for you.
Our polls support LaTeX which is typically used by math or science professors to give equations. However, LaTeX also supports way to underline, bold, italicize etc… text in general.
You can see a bit how it works here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/power-users/latex
And, I usually recommend this website for examples around LaTeX (there’s a whole section on the formatting you’re describing): https://www.sharelatex.com/learn
Would that work for you?

Edit order of groups in the Participants screen
I'd like to change the ordering of the groups listed on the right side of the Participants screen. Possibly drag them up or down after clicking on the Edit button.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! I actually have never heard of this before, but you are 100% right we do not currently have a way to reorder or customize those at all right now.
We’re generally trying to move away from drag and drop within the application to better support Tablets and mobile devices. However, I will bring up reordering the list for future enhancements to that page.
Thanks again!

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.

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?

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.
2 votesThanks for your suggestion! We’ll look into this feature as we see more interest.

Make it possible to use Poll Everywhere in a Slack workflow, for daily morning poll for example
It would be nice to be able to use Poll Everywhere in a Slack workflow. My team would like to use this feature to launch morning poll asking about the priorities of the day. It would be the best solution for us, rather than a regular post, as it would make it automated (send this question every Monday morning ie) and would be easy super easy to fill for the team.
2 votesThank you for the suggestion! We'll look into this functionality and keep you posted here with any updates.
