Facilitate export of poll questions by modifying Executive Summary Report csv layout
Exporting poll questions to a plain text format would be very useful to instructors who want to create summative paper-and-pencil assessments using their PE questions. Currently the only export option (at least for those without university-wide or enterprise accounts) is to download an executive summary report, but that still requires deleting many columns and rows, and copying the questions over to the same column as the response options. A dedicated poll question export feature would be the best solution, but in its absence, a slight modification to the layout of Executive Summary csv reports would make those reports much more…

Tags for Activities
Our university just started using Poll Everywhere for all faculty. Sharing activities is a breeze but it would be great if we could add tags or some other identifier to activities. I see a comment that a new search functionality is on the development roadmap. It would be great if some sort of tagging feature could be included to allow for easy sharing and search of activities between team members. Thanks!

Downloading Screenshots or Slides that display all responses from an activity
There doesn't seem to be a way to download screenshots or slides with all of the responses appearing on the screen. In the past, I have been able to save screenshots with all responses to an activity to share them back with teams. Current screenshots of activities do not display all of the responses on the screen, and do not seem to be able to fit the responses with the new layouts. I attached 2 screenshots...the first is a screenshot of an activity with 12 responses...the screenshot only displayed one response using the new layout. The second screenshot is from…
3 votesThank you so much for your submission! I reached out to our Product Team about this and they let me know that Open-Ended activities can be tricky for downloading screenshots. The best recommendation I can make is to use Word Cloud or another activity type if you know you will want to download a screenshot. I would also recommend avoiding the Text Wall or Spotlight visual settings when downloading a screenshot. I hope this helps but please do not hesitate to reach back out if you have any additional questions!

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.

Add the option of expporting results into a PPT.
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?

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.

Please allow multiple correct answers from students in a compition mode.

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.

Visual settings for clickable image - Add an option to replace pin with another sign
In clickable image question type, add an option to change the pin to another image (for example check mark, heart etc') or by uploading an image. Right now the only thing that can be customized in the pin color.
2 votesThank you for your feedback! We do have plans to change the shape from a pin to a filled in circle for better accessibility and readability for the audience. This will continue to allow color customization, but does not include customizing the shape. Although that is a very interesting idea that we'll discuss as a team.

fun, simple music + visuals
Please don't just 'decline' this... could you consider adding the options of a simple music track and fun visuals, in Competition mode, PLEASE! It ain't that hard (Kahoot! have been doing it for years...)
We have an institutional license for PollEverywhere, and having looked at Competition mode, I will be pushing my institution to get a license for Kahoot! instead because you don't offer these features.
A previous response to a similar suggestion has said "we just cannot commit to the cost it takes to support audio". I don't understand this at all. How costly is it to create some…
2 votesHello and thank you for your feedback! I completely understand how additional visuals and music would be helpful in your use case. Please know I took this back internally to our Product Team for their review. We did recently make some new visual updates that includes a new colorful theme in addition to our classic blue theme, here is the link to our recent blog post that outlines many of these updates.
Again, we always appreciate feedback and new ideas. If there is anything else we can do to support in the meantime please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@polleverywhere.com.

set the corrections toggle to be automatic
I'm sure a lot of your customers would appreciate the ability to set the corrections toggle to be automatic.
For example: Instead of having to toggle the corrections button manually, how about setting it to toggle on after how many seconds or minutes we set.
Maybe even a separate timer for it be toggled off.
