Option to turn off "Answers to this poll are anonymous" icon and text
It would be nice to turn off the icon and text "Answers to this poll are anonymous" if it's anonymous and we don't care to show that on the screen. I have a client asking to not have that text on the result screen.
1 voteYou can hide the “Answers to this poll are anonymous” on the chart. If you go to the visual settings menu (pencil button on the chart) → then uncheck the checkbox that says “How to respond”
That will, however, hide the response instructions as well. It’s tough because we generally do want to assure people that it is anonymous. And, because anonymous polls prohibit many of our reporting features we wanted to make it very clear to the presenter as well.

Interface with EMAZE at www.emaze.com as you do with PPT.
Allow exporting text results through and Emaze Presentation just as you do PPT.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! We’ll keep an eye out for more requests as Emaze grows.

Placeholder slide: rather than random shot - just have title portion. That way, won’t ‘glitch’ while waiting for server connection
Currently the slide you’ll see in slide deck of PowerPoint is apparently randomly generated, sometimes capturing a chart with answer from previously run poll ( the last time you presented the deck live). This leads to cumbersome need to pull out the poll everywhere slides and reinsert them fresh each time you give the talk. Or else will risk a glitchy presentation and slide deck that has answers revealed from last presentation. The ‘placeholder slides’ poll everywhere uses do not update - they are truly just ‘placeholders’. The best solution is for those placeholders to be ‘clean’ and unrevealing of…
1 voteThanks for the feedback! That’s really interesting to hear. We had a lot of discussions about whether to show or hide the results on the placeholder images. It was tough to try and decide.
I’ve shared this with our team and we’ll be checking in with other customers if they have a preference as well.

Insert video or url in the surveys or activities
Insert video or URL in the surveys or activities
1 voteInteresting idea. Would you expect the video to load and display for your audience on their mobile devices? Or, is it more just to be able for them to link to another website?
There are a few security concerns because there is always some risk to linking or loading other websites but it’s a fun idea

Automatically insert replies from one poll to a new one in a presentation
It would be great to have the possibillity to take the answers from one poll directly into another poll/question during a presentation, without having to take a break in the presentation to do this manually.
Specifically, I have been hoping to first start out with a word cloud, and then directly switch over to another question (e.g. rank order, multiple choice or upvote) where the respondents can vote on the words reported in from the previous question (hence the replies on the first question is seamlessly added into the second).1 voteThis is tricky for us to do. I love the idea, but it’s subtly very hard to cover all of our edge cases.
Have you tried our Q&A Poll before? It’s not going to give you the exact same behavior but it hits a similar need. That poll type allows your audience to reply with open ended responses and up/downvote those responses as well.
Is that sufficient for you? You can read a bit about our Q&A polls here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/question-and-answer-brainstorm

You should explore allowing multiple account template polls
We are a big company and have two sectors within the same account. We would like to have two poll templates: one per sector
1 voteThanks for the idea! We are actively doing some initial research into different ways to expand and improve our template poll feature. It’s great to hear these sorts of requests.
We are looking into this right now, however it is still very early for us to say exactly how we will implement these improvements. We’ll post here as the project moves along.
Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the feedback! Adding the time element to the Change Answer feature was a tricky decision for us, but was a response to issues we had where participants were interrupting presentations by deleting their responses at moments while the presenter was specifically addressing them.
I’ll bring this up for our design and engineering team and see what it might take to make that an editable setting. We just always try to strike a balance between simplicity and customization to keep things understandable.

Chat Feature?
Hi, I see the Chat feature discussion from 2015, but it doesn't fully address my needs. I'd like a CHAT feature in Poll Everywhere (PE) - just like Zoom has. In fact, that's the only reason I use Zoom over PE. The CHAT feature allows webinar participants an opportunity to ask questions, add comments, etc. Please incorporate this to Poll Everywhere. Thank you.
1 voteThanks! We’ve been looking into this as well and will keep you posted on our progress.

Add more languages (e.g. Afrikaans)
Please add the ability to localise/translate the UI easily into other languages than those currently supported. I'm mostly presenting to an Afrikaans audience, using Afrikaans slides, and would therefore also like to have the instructions, etc. in Afrikaans. This of course, also apply to other unsupported languages. Thank you!
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We’ll look into this.

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.

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.

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.
1 voteThank you for the feedback. Competitions is our newest activity type so we’re always looking to improve. We’ll consider this as more requests come in.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion! We’ll look into this as we see more customer interest.
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

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".

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…
