Purge Previous Participants
We REALLY need the ability to purge the entire database of previous participants from the previous semester/school year. Having used this for two semesters in large courses, I currently have 500+ students that should be deleted before the new academic year starts.

have a "one-time unlimited" plan for university instructors.
Sometimes, we give a large talk once in a while, but not on a regular basis, such as at a conference, or event. It would be great if there were another option that could be used for 24 hours, instead of an entire semester.
3 votesHello,
For short-term/one-time use we recommend the Business & Non-Profit Plans found here: www.polleverywhere.com/plans
For more info on pricing for one-time events see the following FAQ item: http://www.polleverywhere.com/faq#one-time

Enable QR Codes?
Would be great if a QR Code could be displayed next to my unique URL of PollEv.com/mrztechtv since my audience could scan the QR code instead of typing in the short URL. Thanks for considering!
3 votesWe have added a new Beta feature to add some support for QR codes. It is fully functional and supported, but remains in beta because it does not currently work for Competitions.
You can enable this feature here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/labs
Once the QR Code feature is enabled for you account when you open a poll you should see a small QR code next to the response instructions on the chart. If you click this QR icon → a QR code will expand to show on the entire screen.
Anyone in your audience may then use any standard QR code reader on their phones to navigate to your pollev.com/username page
Furthermore, you may download the image for your QR code and add that as a slide in PowerPoint if you have your own instructions for the audience. You can download this image at polleverywhere.com/profile/edit
Hope this helps!

enter pictures as questions
What is missing in the picture?
What is the sum (difference)? In the arithmetic of binary numbers it is better to ask students in the formal way (the numbers aligned on top of each other)3 votesGreat news!

Hi!
Our moderator feature currently allows the “automatic” blocking of common expletives, as well as the ability to monitor and approve responses before they are displayed. (explained here: http://www.polleverywhere.com/features/moderation) -

Update PollEV page from PowerPoint
I'd suggest that when you go from question to question in a PowerPoint presentation that it update the PollEV page. It does this when switching from question to question on the web, but not in a presentation.

Don't over-complicate it
I've been using Poll Everywhere for several years and it remains my all time favourite edtech tool. It's strength for me has been its simplicity and ease-of-use. While I always welcome improvements to the interface I am slightly wary of feature creep. So my request is for simplicity. Please don't spoil what you have by expanding the functionality to meet all users' requirements. Matt.
2 votesThanks Matt! I promise our design and engineering teams do their best to keep things as simple as possible. At the very least, keeping the initial and critical workflows as simple as possible. We’ll have some small tweaks to the main My Polls page which I think will also help simplify some of the UI as well.
Let us know if there’s ever anything you see that starts to be more confusing than helpful

Multi voting and dynamic voting
Allow users to first create the voting elements and then have them vote on them within the same session. Another enhancement would be to allow the voters to have 3 votes which they could place on what they wanted. All on one item or split them up on 2 or 3.
2 votesSo, we actually have some capabilities to do these right now.
You can set any Multiple Choice Poll to allow more than one response per person. This will allow your participants to respond up to a set number of times where they can vote for one option 3 times, or split their votes across multiple. You can see details for how here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#responses_per_participant
Otherwise, if you are interested in having your participants submit responses and allow the rest of your participants to vote on them – then I would try our Q&A or Upvote Poll. This allows your participants to submit responses and then lets the whole group up or downvote these responses for discussion.

A Reset Button
A reset button!!!!
We need ONE button to take care three settings for the multiple choice questions. 1. Clear the responses, 2. Hide the chart 3. Hide the correct answer.
I thought when I cleared the responses, it would do these three things for me. But, I was very surprised to see the responses showed when they coming in, and the right answer box was selected from the beginning!!!! These ruined my presentation :(2 votesWe’ve got it! From here on out, any time you Clear a poll question we will update the chart visualization to hide the correct answer. Try it out and let us know if it isn’t working
We do not yet have a way to automatically “reset” polls to hide the chart because it’s a little more complicated for us to do because it goes against our stored defaults. Until we are able to update that, I would recommend using our Copy Visual Settings feature to “Hide the chart” for multiple poll questions at once.

I'd like to now if it's possible to schedule an online presentation for me and my team, so we can know your system better.
Best regards,

Yeah! We can do this. Here’s how
1. Open the emaze presentation you want to include a poll inside of.
2. Click the “Media” button at the top of the screen. You’ll see a place to insert code.
3. In another tab, open your Poll Everywhere poll that you want to embed.
4. Click on the “Present” tab, then under “Share,” click “Embed Poll.”5. On the page that follows, you should see a snippet of code that you can include. Copy this.
6. Paste the code you just copied into the emaze embed section. Your poll should appear!
There’s one limitation to note that I can see- our control buttons do not appear in emaze’s embed method. As such, to control activation, locking, etc. of the polls, you’ll need to use an external method. For this, I would recommend using our mobile app.
