In the Share and embed menu, you will find the following options:

  • Response link: A permanent link that allows participants to respond to this activity at any time, without activation.
  • PollEv.com/your_username: Your personal response page where only the currently activated activity is displayed.
  • Live Presentation view: A link to display the real-time results of the activity.
  • Embed script: A code snippet to embed the activity on a website.

Troubleshooting

For additional assistance, refer to Poll Everywhere's Activation article  or contact support.

  • Why isn't my activity receiving responses?
    • If you're using a response link, ensure web responses are enabled. If you're sharing your PollEv.com/your_username page, verify that the correct activity is activated.
  • Can I share multiple activities at once?
    • Yes! You can share multiple response links simultaneously since they do not require activation.
