Automatic Poll deactivation in PPT presenter mode
Polls used to automatically deactivate when advancing to the next slide in powerpoint presenter mode. That functionality no longer exists. I request that it somehow be made available.

Thank you for your feedback! Activities are only deactivated when you exist fullscreen mode from the browser. In PowerPoint, the functionality hasn't been changed — the activity remains activated until the next one is presented.

I agree that it would be extremely helpful to have this as an option, even if it wasn't in fact a feature that existed previously. That way I wouldn't have to remember to manually lock the last poll before moving onto the next (non-poll) slide of my PowerPoint, thus reducing the number of moving parts I have to think about when teaching/presenting. It's an entirely common-sense suggestion.
(Note: You pointed to the article on activation time, but the minimum three-hour span for automatic deactivation is singularly unhelpful in a class that only lasts for an hour. You should at least let the length of time be manually entered, in minutes.)
