Response details during polls
The current version of Poll Everywhere has removed a key feature, response details (poll attempted to total registered) students during live polling. This is key during class interaction in large classes to find out how many have attempted and to make decisions on disclosing answers after all have attempted. Otherwise, we do not know whether students have understood the material.
1 voteHello and thank you for providing this feedback. I spoke with our Product Team and they noted that there is a feature to be able to show Total Results in the Visual Settings Panel (see the attached screenshot). I am not sure if this is what you are referring to but if not please do not hesitate to reach back out and let us know. I hope this helps but if you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to our Support team at support@polleverywhere.com.

Slide advance, rather than toggle, to reveal responses for open-ended, word cloud, click-the-photo and ranking activities
Would be possible to have the 3-slide series insertion option for open-ended, word cloud, click-the-photo and ranking activities. I'm often teaching in a room where I'm sharing my screen and getting my mouse to the screen so that I can toggle between instructions and responses is cumbersome and clunky. The slide series (even just the first 2 slides of the 3) where I can present the instructions and launch the poll, then advance my slide deck to see the responses (once I the # is high enough) is invaluable. Could you modify open-ended, word cloud, click-the-photo and ranking activities to…

Allow for all responses to polls to appear simultaneously in presentation mode
Allow for all responses to polls to appear simultaneously in presentation mode - currently answers appear one at a time and painfully slowly, particularly when using it to reflect on feedback. Would be helpful to be able to set the speed or, even better, to be able to activate the next response through a click when we're ready to move on to it.
1 voteHello and thank you for your feedback! It sounds like you are referring to a Open Ended activity type, if that is not correct definitely let us know. Either way, I have gone ahead and shared this feedback internally to our team for their review. Again, thank you so much for submitting this idea.

When presenting a powerpoint presentation that includes polleverywhere slides, dont have the Instructions View popup appear at all
Right now when presenting a powerpoint presentation, the Instructions View popup (see image below) appears for a second or two then automatically disappears when displaying each embedded polleverywhere slide. Can an option be added to not have the Instructions View popup appear at all. The audience can see this each time, it only appears for a second or two but happens everytime you go between polleverywhere slides.
1 voteHello and thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry to hear you are experiencing some issues with the Instructions View popup. I have gone ahead and brought this back to our Product team internally for their review. I'll continue to monitor this issue and if I hear anything back from our team I will let you know. Again, thank you so much for providing this feedback and if you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our Support team at support@polleverywhere.com.

Duplicate an anonymous activity but remove the anonymous setting
It only takes a few clicks to change a setting, but for a larger activity, such as a long survey, recreating it takes a lot of work. I understand why anonymous activities are locked into that setting, but what if I want another copy down the road without that option? I'd like either an option to duplicate without anonymous or maybe duplicate with default settings for more general use.

Option to disable full-screen mode in Present mode
Allow users to disable full-screen mode in present view. When this option is enabled, and a user enters "present" mode, the presentation would appear in the full screen of the app window but not the entire desktop. An example of this functionality is in Google Slides, if you click the dropdown next to Slideshow and select Presenter view, the presentation takes the full screen of the app but not the entire desktop. This would allow users to present in a full window and have other content up in a separate window.

Re the "empty the poll" button
The button for emptying the poll is right next to the one for locking
the poll. When I lock the poll I am usually in a hurry (like in a
class), and I made a mistake hitting the wrong button (and the buttons
look similar enough when the instructor is in a hurry). I think it would
be best for the emptying button to be in a separate place (like at the
bottom where the recycle bin is usually located).If emptying the poll is undoable (until saved?), that would be a
great feature to have, I think.
1 voteWe are looking into moving some of these options around to help prevent any innocent mistakes like this. We just want to be careful about doing it. Our current focus is largely on the hard Delete button. But, Clear/Archive is on our shortlist.
Thanks for the feedback!

Allow group members to copy questions to the entire group of collaborators instead of writing finding each email address one by one.
We have faculty working with a group of TAs. The faculty regularly share a group of questions to TAs and would like to share to all of them by searching for the name of the group rather than searching and adding each group member.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! We are beginning work on a project we hope will address these sorts of collaboration issues. The goal is to allow one person to share a selection of their poll questions with a User Group who will all be able to present, but not edit, those polls.
There’s plenty more to it than that and lots of details, but that is it in a nutshell.
Thanks again for the feedback and stay tuned for more information on that project. We’ll be posting about in the next few months.

Clarify the two uses of the word "group"
Poll Everywhere uses "group" to mean "group" of questions AND "group" of collaborators. This gets confusing. It would be ideal if these features used different names. How about "Team" of collaborators? or something like that.
1 voteThank you for the feedback! Yes. I and Poll Everywhere agree one hundred percent as we regret that naming scheme as well.
We have begun work on a project around Sharing Polls with other presenters and part of this work will involve changes to our User Group feature. This is a large project for us that will be a months yet, but changing the name is part of our current plan.
So, stay tuned! And, we’ll be posting here and looking for beta testers for that in time.
Thanks again!

Let the payment info be associated with an email other than the one for the account
Hello! I work for a gov't agency, and only a few of us have company credit cards. Because the account and payment are tied to the account login info, I have to pester the account-holder for the payment receipt every month. Please make it so that either the billing info can go to a different email address, or make it so I can be cc'd on the receipt so I don't have to bother the manager for it when I go to balance my credit card statement. Thanks for your consideration!
1 voteWe plan on adding the ability to do this. You would need to contact our support team to be added but this is on our roadmap.

Allow inserted videos to begin mid-stream
The feature to insert YouTube and other videos into presentations is great, but often one wants to start the video at some other point than the beginning. Please add a feature that allows a video to begin at a specified number of seconds into it!

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.

Bug: Option to Visual Settings Missing in PowerPoint Controller
When I run the activities from the website, i.e. full screen, I can see the option to Visual setting in the controller. But this option is missing when I am inserting the activities into my PowerPoint and presenting the slides.
1 voteThank you for your feedback! Apologies for any inconvenience. We are aware of this and working to resolve it. I will keep you posted here as I get updates from the team.

Wrap text with LaTeX formatting
Text with LaTeX formatting does not wrap in all areas and sometimes scales down to fit on a single line. Specifically, response options do not wrap.
This results in readability issues due to the small text size.
Enabling wrapping for LaTeX text in all areas will improve readability and consistency across the product.
1 voteHello and thank you for your submission! We are in the process of releasing our visual chart redesign. We will be addressing LaTex wrapping with this release. For now as a workaround I would recommend changing the font size to a smaller size in order for it to fit within the screen. Thank you again for providing this feedback and please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do to help.

Allow users to stay logged in for multiple presentations
I am a student and many of my professors use poll everywhere to drive engagement and take attendance.
In past semesters, I could log in once for each of my classes and the app would save each class under "Recent Presentations". However, lately, PollEV has required me to reauthenticate at the beginning of each presentation. There have been occasions where I missed a poll because it takes time to authenticate.
Please bring back the ability to save multiple presentations!
