How can we improve Poll Everywhere?

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.

We’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”.

    I agree with Doug. Please add a Bulk Edit option to set the Show/Hide results. Thanks.

    Is this under User settings ->Poll Settings? I'm not seeing an option that says "Hide results".
