How to get instant feedback from your audience.
Getting your audience engaged is the most important thing you can do when presenting. We previously published an article on Zeetings , a program that lets the audience become part of the story by using an interactive program directly from their smartphones. Here, Farshad has reviewed ten other programs that you can use to make sure your audience becomes part of the story, instead of just listening to it.
Sometimes the biggest enemy of a presenter is doubt. One can get a bit jittery by looking at uncertain faces in the crowd. You might want to know what your audience is thinking so that you may be able to refine your presentation in case you’re going off track. One of the best ways to find out what your audience is thinking is to use polls. Conducting live polls during a presentation session can help you gather instant feedback and fine tune your presentation on the fly to ensure you can be on top of your game.
There are a number of polling apps, devices and plugins that you can use for conducting live polls during presentations. Different polling tools provide different options, including some which even enable presenters to continuously gather audience feedback and view brief statistics as they present their slides. If you want to use polls in your presentations like a pro, then here are 10 best polling tools to gather instant audience feedback.
1) Presentain
Presentain is a presentation web app where you can either upload and present a PDF, PPT or PPTX file or fetch a file using your Google Drive account to present your presentation right from an internet browser. Presentain provides presenters with a URL that can be shared with the audience so they can follow your slides live as you present them, using any internet connected device.
Your audience can also take part in Live polls using the same URL, allowing you to not only present your slides by broadcasting them via the internet but also to instantly gather audience feedback by offering them polls. In fact, your audience can even ask you questions using their internet connected devices.
Here is a brief introductory video which shows all the basic features of Presentain.
2) PollEverywhere
PollEverywhere is an audience response system which enables creating polls in PowerPoint and Google Slides. The PollEverywhere add-in for PowerPoint or the Chrome extension for Google Slides can be used to create polls and gather audience feedback by allowing people to participate in polls via internet connected devices such as smartphones tablets or laptops. Furthermore, your audience can also respond to polls via Twitter.
PollEverywhere has a comprehensive set of features for conducting polls and quizzes using open ended questions, multiple choice questions, true or false quizzes, as well as clickable image and Q&A polls.
Here is a short video which explains the main features of PollEverywhere.
3) Mentimeter
Mentimeter is an audience response system which allows presenters to create polls using multiple choice or open ended questions, polls based on a point-based system, or use dual axis or scales to gather audience feedback. Your audience will be able to cast their votes via a designated URL. This means your audience can instantly cast their votes by using their mobile phones, tablets or laptops during a Live presentation session.
Here is an introductory video which explains how Mentimeter works.
Swipe is a comprehensive presentation web app which can not only allow you to conduct polls but you can also use it as a PowerPoint alternative. You can get started with Swipe by uploading a PDF or image file, and even embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo.
With Swipe you can design your slide decks and add polls to your presentations. Like most polling systems, Swipe provides a polling URL for the audience to respond to polls.
5) ParticiPoll
ParticiPoll is a PowerPoint add-in which can help you add polls to your PowerPoint slides. You can start using Participoll by signing-up for a free account, picking a polling URL and downloading the add-in to start adding polls to your PowerPoint slides. Your audience will be able to respond to polls using your custom polling URL.
The data gathered via Participoll is logged to your account, which means you can login anytime to your Participoll account to view audience feedback.
6) Ask The Room
If you’re looking for a free and easy way of conducting a Live poll during a presentation, you can also use Ask The Room . With Ask The Room you can instantly set up a poll by using options like ‘Yes’, ‘No’ and ‘Don’t Know’. Ask the Room requires no sign-up and you can begin your poll by going to the home page, and clicking on Start Poll. You will be provided with a custom URL to share with your audience where they can poll, and you will be able to see the result in real-time via your browser.
7) ActiVote
If you are looking for a voting system for educational purposes that comes with associated hardware clickers that your audience can use, then Activote can be a good option. ActiVote is a comprehensive polling system by which you can create polls on your computer and allow your audience to respond using ActiVote clickers.
The primary use of ActiVote is for educational purposes and it can be a good option for conducting quizzes or assessing your students using various voting based activities. ActiVote works with Windows, Mac and Linux.
OMBEA is an audience response system which can be used to insert interactive slides in PowerPoint to conduct polls during presentations. OMBEA not only works with laptops, smartphones and tablets but is also compatible with remote clickers.
You can conduct polls using open ended or multiple choice questions and enable your audience to respond using remote clickers or internet connected devices. This makes OMBEA easy to use and expands the number of devices that can be instantly turned into remote clickers.
9) iClicker
If you are looking for a clicker based polling system, which also supports clicker devices, then iClicker is an audience response system that you should look into. This clicker based polling system enables you to gather audience feedback by allowing them to poll using smartphones, tablets, or clicker remotes.
To find out all about how iClicker works, see the developer’s introductory video given below.
10) ClickAPad
ClickAPad is another comprehensive audience response system which not only provides a polling add-in for PowerPoint but also offers clicker remotes for purchase or rent.

These are really good recommendations. I’ve also used a tool called HappyScore http://about.happyscore.io , which is a bit different.
Good stuff, Farshad. Thanks!
27th September 2017 at 3:35 pm
Let me add Meeting Pulse to the list. It works well and looks really nice. https://meet.ps
People use it for classes and lectures because the free version allows to poll up to 50 people. It’s also good for business meetings and webcasts. Features include – 15 second to set up a poll – all popular questions types – works for every device – no need to install anything – very simple
You can also run Q&A and create surveys.

Great post. I stumbled across the post while I was searching for embedded polls. To add another tool to the mix – Pubble Live Q&A: https://www.pubble.io/live-qa
Pubble’s live Q&A is deigned to be incorporated into the conference / event website. It enables the participants to ask questions and follow the thread live. It includes a presenter mode for the presenter to display selected questions on the main stage.
Moderation is supported. You can also push in questions from Twitter. Lots of other cool features, detailed on the product page above.
5th January 2018 at 11:48 am
Thanks for sharing this John. It looks like your tool would be useful for hosting live audience Q&As. Have you seen our article on this: https://www.presentation-guru.com/5-easy-to-use-solutions-to-boost-your-audience-engagement/ which gives tips on how best to incorporate Q&A sessions into your presentation?

Maybe a good idea to add NorthPolls to the list: http://www.northpolls.com . NorthPolls is extremely easy to operate by the chairman of the day on the stage via his or her own smartphone.

Here’s another one: “Poll At Once”.
This is a free native app for iOS and Android. It’s just one touch to start a poll and designed for live audiences. Attendees can just answer A,B,C or D. No sign up and total anonymous.
Check out here: https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/poll-at-once/id1366256403?mt=8 or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.zmb.poll

Nice but one more to add i.e. Customer feedback tool.
15th May 2018 at 9:58 am
That’s a great post. And it really helps. It gets more and more difficult to keep the audience engaged while presenting. We stick to directpoll.com. It is a very simple solution for real time feedback on your live stream poll.
15th May 2018 at 11:09 am
Thanks Kate – you’re absolutely right and it’s great to find out what people are using day-to-day.

Soft Intelligence Data Centre has engagement apps for organizations and businesses which help in the overall growth. You must check out them once.
19th June 2018 at 12:14 pm
We will do! Thanks for the tip.
12th July 2018 at 1:00 pm
Nice article! I just wanted to introduce you to a polling based mobile app that I developed recently, called Pollpop (pollpopapp.app.link). It’s about organizing polls and discussions within your groups or the public at large. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers!
13th July 2018 at 10:02 am
Thanks Dev – we’ll take a look.

I tried to use Presentain, and it’s essentially useless in America. It’s based in Ukraine, and their app isn’t available to the US market. It’s a paid platform, so buyer beware.
18th September 2018 at 1:06 pm
Hi Melissa,
I have previously used Presentain without any issues, however I recently tried it again after seeing your comment and it seems there might be a bug preventing users to log into the app. You can try other options in the post to gather audience feedback as an alternative.
Recently, I used Mentimeter for feedback after a presentation at my organization. I used emoticons representing satisfied and unsatisfied audience and conducted a Live poll and it worked out perfectly.

The whole idea is assinine. Real science shows once you are part of the group tour measurements are worthless. The audience knowing they are being viewed and measured will give answers they think you want instead of true opinions. Waste of time and money more harm then good as it will support your preconceived notions and give failed erroneous data.
23rd January 2019 at 4:36 am
I have a new engagement tool for free has a lot of features to engage and attract your audience http://www.enablerplus.com

Check out http://www.emojot.com – it is a full-fledged voice-of-audience solution (as well as a voice-of-customer and voice-of-employee solution). Its capabilities are best suited for enterprises. It has been used for TV, radio and large conferences as well as in small group meetings.

These are some great tools. I would also add to the list the Swift Polling by ExciteM ( https://swift.excitem.com ) which allows for PowerPoint integration and SMS voting. This is a life-saving solution for cases when people do not own smartphones.
19th April 2020 at 5:21 pm
I can recommend to have a look at Poll For All ( https://pollforall.com ) The poll result view in the app gets real time updates and can be used in presentations. There is a web app, which can be opened directly in a desktop browser.
21st April 2020 at 4:07 pm
I will take a look – thanks for bringing it to our attention.
20th June 2020 at 1:51 pm
Hi, farshad! These are a really awesome tool in today’s world to take instant feedback from the audience and most of them I never heard about. I will definitely go to use them and share it as much as possible because it creates a lot of disturbance during a session to ask audience review over a certain topic. Thanks a lot for sharing them!

Try Pollpop for voting and discussions within your group. It’s pretty slick. You can ask a question to your group (along with images, videos, maps, even other widgets, and options). Ask as a private or semi-private option. Your group gets a chance to vote and discuss the topic. You also get a cool analysis of the voting results, so you clearly know who stands where. You can also add your group members as connections for future discussions.

Excellent information and comments by everyone. I am looking for free software to run polls from my PowerPoint presentation for my students without adding any cost to them – they are already paying a hefty price for books and online resources. Poll Everywhere looks good but charges students. Has anyone else a product to share with me. Please send information to me at [email protected] . Thank you for the belp.

Live Polling: Free guide + Top 7 Live Poll Tools
After you conduct a meeting or presentation, how do you measure its success? Is it the number of attendees that determines it? Or how user-friendly are the event management tools? What’s for sure is that the right tools will be your allies to achieve a perfect presentation. Today we’re talking about live polling.
The most significant and crucial contributor to any event’s success should be measured against your audience’s engagement. After all, events are considered the best platform for your business to gain impactful brand exposure and generate quality leads.
You get to present and establish your brand language and convince why your customers must choose you over your competitors. And for this very reason, it’s essential to equip yourself with all the right software that can help you boost audience involvement in a limited time.
LEARN ABOUT: Audience Engagement Tools
What is live polling?
Live polling is conducting a poll or quiz in real-time among a live audience, either in real life or online. In a recent study conducted by Marketing , data scientists found that 71% of marketers use polling to ensure audience engagement .
A Live polling app can help you extend the power of polls to boost involvement and enthusiasm. Be it a substantial corporate affair or a small classroom discussion, live-polling apps will help you conduct online polls painlessly to generate poll results for the participants immediately.
A continuously interactive loop between the presenter and the audience will automatically boost engagement, which is what the live poll tool can enable & build for your business.
The key to successful polling is to make it as accessible as possible. Avoid software that asks the user for a download or sign-up anywhere; time is valuable for a successful presentation. Opt for software that offers you a quick and easy-to-use interface.

Live Polls are all about collecting instant feedback. It takes a quick pulse of your target people while also showing them that you care about their feedback. Let’s start!
Live Polling Step-by-Step Guide
With the right live polling software, you will be able to implement interactive presentations into your online meetings, classes, or any exposition. You will generate audience engagement by making interactions in real-time with your target people.
Step 1: List your questions
Prepare your questions and keep them the shortest you can. Easy-to-read questions are the best kind for a poll.
Remember that live polls are fun when they don’t drag along for long. Try to create multiple-choice polls and keep your answer choices to a maximum of four; the total number of questions must not exceed 10. We’ve noticed that 4-7 is the sweet spot.
Being quick and concise is the key!
Step 2: Open a free account
You only need your email for this step: no credit cards and no hoops to jump through. Quickly sign up for a free account so that you can create your first live poll right away.
Step 3: Assemble your Poll questions and configure
QuestionPro LivePolls lets you run a poll as well as collect live comments from the audience. Follow the directions in the picture below for your poll questions template. From here, entering your questions and answers is a simple matter.
You can also have fun with the various customizing options , like enabling the participants to submit anonymous responses with an alias, inserting a live comment box for respondents to leave their comments, and even splitting your participants randomly into teams to see which side wins!
Step 4: Share the URL with your attendees so they can join
Ask your participants to get ready with their mobile phones or open another window. They need to type in questionpro.io to get to the page where the action is!
Step 5: Share the 4-digit code with your respondents
Since you are the creator and presenter of the Live Poll (we’ll call you Live Poll Admin), a 4-digit code will appear on your screen when you click ‘Start’ (refer to the picture below). You can also set a response time limit for each question at this stage. Now share this code with your attendees, and you can kick it off!
Step 6: Launch your Live Poll
Wait for your participants to join the LivePoll session, and once they are all there, click ‘Start’! Yes, that’s it- you’ve successfully launched your LivePoll.
You’ll see a countdown clock displaying the time left for your respondents to choose their answers. And a leaderboard will show up on the right side of your screen with a live showcase of the top 20 scores listed in the order of who answered right the quickest! It adds an element of thrill to the Poll experience.
Step 7: Watch the live polling results immediately
An essential chart updates in real-time as unlimited responses pour in. You can share this with your respondents; watching the graph as audience choices and answers get updated is interesting.
Step 8: Review poll results in the dashboard – tada!
So your live poll happened in a flash, but you can hold on to the responses collected and comments received. What’s more, you can even get separate stats on the device usage, the fastest respondents’ details, and the accuracy rate of the right responses for each question. Wasn’t that fun?
Now if you enjoy watching videos over reading guides like this one here, head over to our Youtube video to learn everything about creating Live Polls!
So there, you have it! You’re ready to have fun with your Live Polls and deliver the best presentation of a lifetime.

While VoxVote works well, there are some areas that could use improvement. For instance, you can't import polls into presentations, and live results require a page refresh. Plus, features like question export/import and quiz-sharing aren't available yet.
Vevox is a live polling and Q&A tool ideal for businesses and schools aiming to simplify engagement and feedback. It enables real-time survey data collection and allows quick Excel report downloads for easy attendance and survey result monitoring.

You can make forms with different types of questions, customize them easily, and organize everything neatly using dropdowns, multiple-choice options, and logic for showing questions based on answers. You can even personalize them with images, videos (including YouTube), logos, and different themes.
The responses you get are automatically organized in real-time, and you can easily check summaries and dig deeper using Google Sheets. It works well on mobile, and you can collaborate by sending email invites or sharing the forms through links, email, embedding, or social media. But some folks wish there were more templates available to make the forms look less basic.
Google Forms is part of Google Workspace and is free to use, but if you want extra features, the Business Standard tier costs $12 per user each month.
Typeform is a tool where you can make quizzes, forms, and surveys. It stands out because it asks questions one after another, getting better responses and more people finishing them. It also adjusts questions based on what people answer and looks nice with its templates and clean design.

When it comes to meetings, SurveyMonkey works great with Zoom to gather feedback from attendees and make meetings more productive. The surveys from this feedback turn meetings into places for ideas, helping make plans for action and making sure everyone leaves more informed.
SurveyMonkey offers pricing across Individual, Team, and Enterprise plans. Individual plans range from $39/month to $99/month, while Team plans start at $30/month and go up to $75/month. For Enterprise pricing, direct contact is necessary.
However, users highlight certain downsides, including potential high costs, slow customer service, and the call for better fraud prevention measures during registration.
