Have full screen mode on the web able to take slide clicker inputs.
Have full screen mode on the web able to take slide clicker inputs.
This sounds redundant because you have PollPresenter for Powerpoint/Mac, but I find that fullscreen presentations from the web are much faster and more reliable than PollPresenter.
11 votesI believe this is currently possible with some slide clickers. Fullscreen mode honors left right arrow key inputs to navigate between polls. So, if your slide clicker can send these keyboard inputs, you should be all set.

Poll Export
CSV import/export of poll questions. Or any way to export poll questions at all.
27 votesThanks for the feedback all. There are a few different workarounds that might work for you all, but we don’t have anything explicitly for this.
We do have a CSV importer to import poll questions. You can read about that here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/create-activities/import-questions
For students who missed class or just for generally sharing the content: I recommend either our Bulk Screenshot tool or maybe printing out an Executive Summary report.
- the bulk screenshot tool will take screenshots of up to 10 polls that can then be shared via email or any other way that works for you. To do this: Go to the Polls page → select the polls you want → Click the grey Download button at the top → select Screenshots.For exporting to CSV for records or internal purposes, I recommend using our Pivot Response Table report and then exporting that to CSV. That will create…

Integrate with Checkpoint Learning for participant imports and credit exports
Checkpoint Learning is a popular LMS in the accounting industry. Because our regulatory standards require that we ask polling questions throughout a training for anyone who does not attend a live session, we use a lot of polling. It would be helpful to be able to import all our participants from Checkpoint Learning to Poll Everywhere and export credit back to them in Checkpoint Learning if they answer the polling questions.

You should be able to incorporate video or audio clips from file or YouTube
show/play video or audio example and then ask students to pick answers based on what they are seeing/hearing on the clip. This would be great for assessment training. For example play an audio clip of lung sounds. Students then need to choose if they are hearing wheezes, crackles, stridor, or clear lung sounds.

Allow the creator of the poll to edit the results to manually enter results.
I have a few students without cell phones or another technology device in my classroom. I go around and ask these students what they think the answer it. I would then like to add their responses to the result totals.

Have a sound play whenever there's a response.
I've made a live "I don't understand poll" for students who don't understand what I just said in lecture. If I see responses I would back-up and repeat or expand on the lecture point. Sometimes I don't know if there are responses without looking at it, so it would be nice if it could play a specific sound to let me know.
12 votesHi,
Thanks for your feedback and interest in Poll Everywhere!
That’s an interesting idea! We’ll put it under review and talk about it. We’ll also let other users vote on your idea.

Make it compatible with active inspire and the promethean software
I am a math teacher and love using your program. 2 things that can make it better. 1. include some sort of equation editor so equations can easily be inserted. 2. make it compatible with the active inspire (promethean planet) software.
10 votesHi Paul,
Thanks for reaching out!
Have you tried using LaTeX in the option fields? It should work if you begin with “latex:”
Regarding Promethean Planet, I’ll keep my eyes open! I haven’t heard of a request for it so far, though.

Countrywide Popular polls
Add polls based on popularity of the country, that way, the polls can not only cover local-level reviews of decisions or opinions from a single group, but you can also have country-wide reports of opinions on their land's most talked-about subjects and get opinions.
5 votesThanks for reaching our Oscar!
That’s an interesting idea. I’ll be sure to add it to the agenda of our next planning meeting around libraries of polls!

include profanity filter in the "Edit Multiples" optons
It seems like an over sight that it is missing. But actually, this is something a user will either want to use on every single poll or not care about. It seems it would be better to create a global option to always use the profanity filter on every poll.
