Competition with open
Competition with open-ended answers.
I want to use competition in a music quiz. Let the audience listen to a song and let them answer the question about that song. The faster you give the right answer the more points. And no peeking about answers from other players on screen during the remaining time.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion! We currently don’t support correctness on open-ended activities, which is why they don’t appear in Competitions, but we will look into this as we see more customer interest.

Sway code embedding
This is not a new idea. I used live slides previously and was able to embed my sway code into power point presentations for live view of sway, however I am not being able to do so with poll everywhere.
Its a very nice and important feature. But not working in poll everywhere now.1 voteThanks for your patience! We are continuing to work on this functionality. In order to embed our URL, Microsoft needs to allow it.

Display "view responses" in order
Display "view responses" for participants in order that survey was given; not time question was answered. Also allow participants to view individual surveys, not just a running tab of all answers. Currently, this is difficult for students to check their work and it is difficult for them to use "view responses" as a "key" or study guide for future reference.

"Invalid authenticity token" when trying to log in in the chrome app
Hi, there!
I am trying to log into the chrome app to co-create a chrome slide with my colleague. She is logged in already - might that be the problem?
Thanks, Sincerely,
1 voteHi there, apologies for the inconvenience. Can you try logging out of Poll Everywhere and Google Chrome and then logging back in?

Add other options to Competition Feature
Right now you can only use multiple choice in the competition feature. It would be great if you could add in other types like clickable image and any others that could have "correct" answers.

Display results below the question (where everybody expects them) rather than above
After the submission of the response, the results for the responses of all other respondents are displayed above the question. This is highly problematic on a smartphone because on a small screen, the respondent does not notice that the content above the question (which is not visible on a small screen) has changed. Moreover, showing the results on such an unexpected place forces the respondents to scroll back to have a look at the answers. I would like to move the results from the top to the bottom of the page (below instead of above the question) to make sure…

Restrict ability to respond to polls based on the group assignments
I teach several sections of the same class, and would find it helpful not to have to replicate polls for each of the sections. I have the ability to group the students based on sections, so is there a way to assign a poll to a specific group (instead of having to create new polls and deactive old polls)?
6 votesThank you for your suggestion! We’ll look into building the ability to assign activities per participant group as we see more customer interest.

Easier access to Alt text fields when using graphics in questions and answer options.
Just discovered how to access Alt text fields when using graphics in questions and answer options. In these days of WCAG standards and focus on Accessibility, we should not have to go into the backend, through My Settings and find the non-intuitively labelled "Features Lab" as the way in to find and choose to turn on "Image alt-text". This needs to be built into your Poll creation interface in a more intuitive and UX-friendly way. Thanks!
3 votesThank you for your feedback! Image alt text is currently a pre-release feature, which is why it’s in the Features lab at the moment. We do not have a timeline yet, but we are planning to release it more widely.

Respond directly to written poll submissions individually in writing, using the poll, visible to all
I would like there to be a kind of poll (or a modification to the existing Q&A or Open Ended polls) that I can use as a presenter which would allow me to type back responses to the audience submissions that come in! (Example: my pinned Q & A poll is a way for me to let students ask me questions during lecture. Some of them, I answer out loud during lecture. Others, I would like to type a response back to the student for everyone with access to the poll to be able to see.) Ideally, I'd like to…

A slider poll with multiple sentences/questions.
Coming from Mentimeter which has it flaws, I was disappointed to be able to use only one slider with question per poll. It would be great to have several. Also great if you can show the voting frequencies behind the slider position as sometimes there are multiple populations. Mentimeter does this very well.

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.

Allow multi-line textual responses
The "open-ended" response type allows arbitrary textual response, but only one line of text. For complex answers, including answers that may including tables or diagrams, one line is not sufficient. I would like to request an option (perhaps presented to the user as an "allow long answers" checkbox on the open-ended response type) that will allow the user to insert newlines and construct multiline responses.
7 votesThank you for your feedback! Given the limited space on the results view, we’ve had to limit response lengths on open-ended questions but we will look into this suggestion as we see more customer interest.

Cascading answers
I'd like to collect answers on the first poll slide and allow upvotes (current functionality).
Then I'd like the top X number to be automagically available in the next poll slide so that people can add short answers.
Use case:
Survey: What excuses do your prospects say when you cold call them?
(respond and upvote)
New Poll with top 5 upvoted answers: OK, how would you respond to each of these excuses?1 voteThanks for your suggestion! As a current solution, we recommend locking the Q&A activity and then using the spotlight feature, which is the star icon on each answer, to focus on one response at a time.

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…

Would it be possible to have a sticky note response in the future?
When students respond, their answer shows up as a sticky note on the screen. Like Jamboard but in Jamboard students have the ability to change other students answers. I think you have a much better product and this would be a great response idea for students!

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".

Results presentation per participant
I am using polls in my teaching and that would be great if i could present Survey responses per participant and not question by question,
For example: If survey has four question a, b, c, d and there are 2 participants X, Y I want to present first responses to all questions submitted by X, then all responses submitted by Y.3 votesThanks for your suggestion! We’ll look into this idea with more user interest.

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.

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

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.
