Run an interactive presentation

Break up a talk with questions your audience answers from their phones.

Steps

  1. Plan the questions, not the slides

    Decide the two or three moments you want the room to speak. A question every few minutes keeps people present; one every slide turns a talk into a form.

  2. Create a session and add each question

    Add them in the order you will ask them. Mix the types: Multiple choice for a decision, Word cloud for a mood, Open text for something you have not thought of, Rating for a temperature check.

  3. Expect questions from the room

    Every session takes audience questions, with no setting to turn on. People ask as you go and upvote each other, and you see them arrive — so you can take the popular ones at the end instead of guessing what to cover.

  4. Open the presenter view on the screen the room sees

    Press "Open presenter view" and put that window on the projector. It is built to be read from the back of a room, and the join code stays on it the whole time so latecomers can still get in.

  5. Drive from your own device

    Keep the session page open on your laptop or phone. Press "Show this question" when you reach each moment. The projected view follows on its own, so you never switch windows in front of the room.

  6. Let the answers change what you say next

    This is the whole point. Read the result aloud, ask someone to explain an outlier, skip the section the room already agrees on.

Worth knowing

  • The presenter view is read-only. Anyone can watch it without being able to change anything.
  • If you would rather not use a second window, you can put the same live view on a PowerPoint slide instead — see the PowerPoint guide.
  • To leave a result up while you talk over it, press "Stop accepting answers" rather than closing the question — closing clears the projected screen back to the join code.
