Helpful Poll Settings
Rename Poll URL
- Poll Everywhere assigns each user a poll name loosely based on the user’s email address. Many of these poll names are awkward to type quickly.
- The solution is to change the poll name using the following steps.
- Open any browser and log in to your Poll Everywhere account with your WFU Google account username and password.
- In the top right corner of the window, click the Gear button > My Settings.
- Click on the current username and enter a new and straightforward username.
- Click Change.
- It may take a few minutes, but your polls automatically upload with the new username.
Response Settings
Select the response settings that best accommodate your needs. Choose the following options:
- Designate how often a user can respond.
- Set whether or not a user can change an answer.
- Allow activity title on all devices or not.
Participant Response Counter
By default, Poll Everywhere counts the number of participants who respond with a counter in the bottom right corner of the Poll window (web or PowerPoint), but please note this counter only displays on certain question types.
