Improve display of images in MCQ answers
Images in MCQ answers are very small on the presentation screen as they are at the end of a bar that would usually contain text. For MCQ questions using images in the answer could the screen estate be better utilized? Example attached. Matt
8 votesWe plan on starting a project soon that will improve our Instructions View display when you are hiding the chart. We’ll try to get some image optimization in that as well. I’ll keep you posted here

Presenters would like to be able to Password protect their polling sessions
This idea was brought to my attention by an educator. The idea is derived from the desire to ensure that students are present in class before participating. One easy way to do this is to apply a simple password or key required to access the presenter's pollev.com response page.
My initial idea is to integrate this into the user settings, in the Poll Settings of the Personal Info page.
8 votesInteresting. Is the goal to ensure that the students are actually physically present in class and prevent cheating?

hmm
sidebar that groups separate polls so that it is more clear what will happen (what questions will be asked) when the poll is started

Adjustable auto-close time for survey & questions
We're looking for a custom auto-locking survey (but could be for any question) based on time after the survey has opened. Right now it has auto-close for 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day. After that the custom button lets you set a day and time. We just want to option to type in a number of minutes, specifically for us - 20 minutes. The survey will close 20 minutes after it opens to the students.
Thanks!

Enhanced Rich Text Editing for Questions and Answer Choices
Add a rich text editor for questions and answer choices. Many users need more control over how text appears than the current platform allows.
7 votesWhat sorts of text controls did you have in mind? We do have a few options right now such as using LaTeX for math or science equations and then we also have the ability to add italics, break lines, and bold characters in the questions.
Could you give us a few examples of things you would like to add?

Customizing poll appearance
More customization of how the polls appear to the audience. Also improving the cloud option for brain-storming
7 votesWe have a lot of customization options for how the bar chart (and other visualizations) look on the big screen. Is there any kind of visualization option you had in mind?
These include the sizing of the different chart elements, colors, background image, logo, side-by-side image, and a lot more. You can read about them or watch a vide of how they look here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guides/presenter/getting-started#customizing-your-poll

Slide appearance
More control over font, background color, etc
7 votesWe have a pretty extensive amount of customization options for our chart. Including background color, text color, sizing, background images, side by side images along with your chart, and six or so different fonts. We go over a lot of these and how they work in our User Guide here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guides/presenter/getting-started#customizing-your-poll
Is there anything in particular that you are looking for in customizing the slide?

Data Visualization of Results
Enhance data visualization options for poll resutls
7 votesSure, what kind of data visualizations did you have in mind?
We currently have bar and column charts for multiple choice polls and then text wall, word cloud, cluster view and ticker for our open ended poll questions.

Daily rather than per poll participation
For Gradebook, let answering one poll/day (or one in a select group of polls) to give full participation

Adding teacher input
See if you can design a platform like Class Flow which combines slide sharing with polls. Also, you can start getting teacher input on questions to post per grade and subject content area to increase your database of questions.

udemy
How do you work with Udemy courses? Are there any problems, especially from them?
7 votesWe don’t have a direct integration at this time. What kind of features were you looking for?

Allow full LaTeX for more than just equations
i.e., allow more than just limited / simple LaTeX
6 votesWould you mind posting an example or two of the type of LaTeX that you have in mind that we do not currently support? We can have one of our engineers take a look and see what it would take to get them working

Use the new groups option to send poll using account details
I want to be able to create a poll then distribute it to one of my groups electronically, they can respond wherever they are.
This will be extremely useful to setup polls to be responded too for flipped classroom feedback to ensure I can modify the next lesson if necessary, or collect important information over holidays or the weekend.6 votes -
Data vizualization freedom
Poll participants can create their own data visualizations. Woah.
5 votesThis could be very difficult for us to build, but it is certainly an interesting idea. What sort of options did you have in mind for what the students might do?
I’d love to hear a potential use case for what this would do for you

Text only (not requiring answer)
Text only. I want to have instead of a question at the beginning of the survey to have a set of directions explaining how to use it. There doesn't appear to be a "non question" type of design feature.

hide responses on Android version
Allow the hide responses option on the Android version. I appreciate that you have an app so we can lecture from a tablet or phone, but I don't like showing the responses until after everyone has responded.
5 votesI’m glad to hear you’ve been able to present from our Android application! I’ll bring this up with our design team and see if we can think of a way to do this. Right now, we do have a hide/show responses control in our application, but only as a remote control for our PowerPoint integration. So, we need to find a way to distinguish this from the remote control version.
Definitely something to look into for us. Thanks for the idea!
