Where a poll earns its place in a talk

Attention drops after about ten minutes of slides. A poll every ten to fifteen minutes gives the audience something to do and gives you a read on the room before you decide how deep to go.

  • Open with an easy poll so everyone answers once
  • Mid talk, ask about experience to adapt your examples
  • Collect questions with audience Q&A and upvotes
  • Close with a rating and a word cloud for instant feedback

On site or online, same link

In a conference hall, show the QR code on a slide. In a webinar, paste the short link in the chat. Attendees need no app and no account, and their phone shows the question in their own language.

Keep it short

Three to five polls fit most one hour sessions. The free plan allows five questions per presentation, which is a good ceiling anyway. Longer events can use an Event Pass.

Questions

How many polls should a webinar have?

Three to five for an hour. One at the start, one or two in the middle, a Q&A, and a short feedback rating at the end.

Can attendees ask questions during the talk?

Yes. The audience Q&A question lets attendees submit questions and upvote the ones they care about, so you answer the most wanted first.

Do attendees need to install anything?

No. They scan the QR code or open the link in their browser. No app and no account.

Is it free?

Yes to start: 80 participants and 5 questions per presentation, all question types included. Solo is €5 a month, Pro €12, and Event Passes start at €9.
