Make it possible to use Poll Everywhere for regular surveys, like survey monkey.
I would rather have one platform for all surveys, instead of one for live surveys and one for traditional surveys. Why not add "survey money-like" functionality to Poll Everywhere?
4 votesWith Poll Everywhere, you can send participants a link to an asynchronous Survey.

Clickable image pins
Ability to make the pins larger or smaller, or change the color. They can all be uniform, but the ability to customize for your poll. We found the green pin difficult to see against the blue map. Thanks for considering!
1 voteWe have just added the ability to change the colors of the Pins for our clickable image polls. Here’s how:
1. Open the clickable image poll you want to edit
2. click the Visual Settings button on the top right of the poll display
3. expand the menu titled “Clicks received”You will then have the option to change the default pin color, the color for correct answers, and the color for incorrect answers.
Click ‘Save’ to apply the new colors.

Automatically set Polls to Hide
Is there any way to make the default setting for the Polls the Hide option instead of the Show option? For most instructors, they want the students to respond independently first before showing the graph. Showing the graph by default sways the student responses. I know I can edit this setting once the polls have been created, but it is just one extra step in an already multi-step process that would save me a bunch of time.
41 votesWe’ve added two ways to hide results by default when presenting activities. The first is for our slideware integrations (PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides). The second is a user-wide default account setting for all newly created activities to default to the instructions view.
For details about slideware, check out our support article here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/presenting/activity-flows
To make hiding results the default for activities, log in and visit https://www.polleverywhere.com/profile/activity_settings/edit. Then select “Show the instructions” under “Show instructions or results”.

Sub-users can be a member of multiple groups
Hi there,
We would like it if sub-users can be a part of more than one group. We have some faculty who teach graduate and undergraduate classes, and need to copy polls from other undergrad and graduate faculty. Currently users can only be a part of one group. Can you please change this so that users can be a part of multiple groups simultaneously?Thanks,
Kevin24 votesPresenters on your Poll Everywhere account can now be members of multiple Teams! Learn more here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guides/shared-activities/teams

Allow students to change (delete and resubmit) their answers in open-ended polls
Currently, for multiple choice or clickable image polls, students can clear their response and re-submit. We would like to be able to do that with open-ended (specifically Word Cloud) types. The idea is that as participants change their answers, the cloud would morph as some responses shrink and others grow with the changes to the audience's understanding.
2 votesThis is currently available. You will need to allow Change Answer for the open ended polls to let students perform this action. You can find that setting to the right of the poll, under Response Settings

Alt Text
This actually is an accessibility issue... Not sure if I'm missing something but it doesn't appear that I enter alt-text for images?
1 voteThanks for the video. We do have a way to add alt-text to uploaded images, but it needs to first be enabled. We do not have it on by default. Here’s how to get it:
1. click the Gear icon on the top left of the page and select Settings
2. select the Features lab tab on the left of settings. This will take you to polleverywhere.com/labs
3. then click the checkbox for Image Alt-Text and save your changeNow, when you go to create or edit a poll question that has an image → you should be able to enter alt-text for the image. This will be read by screenreaders.

Emojis
It would be fun to be able to use emojis to answer polls. So instead of using "one word" for the word cloud feature, using "one emoji." I think with the increased usage of cell phones, employees use emjois often to describe how they are feeling and can make for a fun time.
1 voteWe do! All of our polls (including word clouds) have full emoji support. If someone replied to a word cloud with the a smile emoji, that emoji will grow in size each time it is submitted. We talk about it in this blog post with more detail here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/blog/emoji-quiz-online/

Nested groups of polls
I hear this is in the works, but being able to have groups of polls INSIDE other group would make managing hundreds of polls much easier to navigate and deal with. THANKS!!

Google Chrome Extension Trouble
Help! I cannot get the chrome extension to integrate a poll into google slides!
8 votesUnfortunately, Google had unexpectedly taken down our extension from the Chrome Web Store. We made some changes to our architecture and Google has allowed our extension back to the store on April 5th. It should be back up on running now.
So, sorry for the trouble! -
Ability to have multiple polls active
We have used Poll Everywhere to run polls using a distributed audience in multiple countries. It would be incredibly useful to have multiple active polls going at the same time. For example, it would be great to have an open ended poll open so our global audience can ask questions, at the same having a word cloud poll to gauge the audience sentiment, and a multiple choice poll to see how they are reacting to certain topics and finally a up/down vote poll to see how they are responding to the presentation of the conference. This is a must have…

Option to show real-time poll results on audience devices after a web poll vote is placed
After a web poll link is used, show the voter the real time results and keep refreshing the page like a gamecast app/page does, so the voter can see the real-time results of the poll they just participated in.
94 votesWe’re excited to share that on premium plans, presenters can now show the live results of multiple choice activities on participants’ devices. Enable the “participants results chart” under your activity’s response settings to see it in action.

show total votes with percentage view
Offer the ability to show percentages, but also include somewhere on the slide, the 'total # of votes', so that presenter can judge as to how much to continue to push the audience to vote.

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.

Account Delegation for Poll Execution
We often have classes that utilize multiple professors. They would like to be able to share polls, powerpoint slide decks, and class data more easily for a single class. Account delegation for at least poll execution rights would probably be able to solve this use-case completely.
17 votesThis has been completed! It’s available to all Enterprise and University-wide accounts. See our guide below.

Can we change the colour of the Total Results?
- Can we change the colour of the Total Responses? Currently, it is black by default and cannot change so it is difficult to see on projector when the background is dark.
1 voteYou can change the text color for Total Results. That is controlled by the “Primary text color” option in our visual settings menu. To change it:
1. open the visual settings menu
2. expand the Color Scheme menu
3. change the Primary Text Color to something with enough contrast for the background.That Color Scheme section controls just about every color on the chart and it should get you what you need.

Change colour of word cloud
For word cloud with dark background, any way to change also the text colour? It’s difficult to see dark texts against dark background.
1 voteYeah! You can do this today actually. You can set a “range” of colors for the words in the word cloud. We have some details here: https://blog.polleverywhere.com/word-cloud-color-combine-words/

Proposed Report Format
Is it possible to provide a report format where 1) each row is a unique respondent with 2) the "poll title" as a column heading and 3) the corresponding "response" is in the same column as the poll title?
1 voteThe “Participant Response History” report should have what you are looking for. However, we display it somewhat differently on the website. If you download/export that report to CSV (Excel) that will have the information in that order.
The CSV export for the Gradebook report is also in a similar format.
Hope this helps!
