What EngageTime is
EngageTime adds polls, Q&A and other audience activities to event sessions, then helps speakers collect feedback and follow up. Attendees join in a browser from any device without installing an app. They can ask questions anonymously, upvote questions and take part in moderated Q&A; sessions can also use quizzes, trivia and real-time emoji reactions. Speakers can gather ratings and comments, share materials, and request attendee contact details with opt-in for follow-ups. Contacts can be exported or sent to a CRM through the API. EngageTime reports on engagement, questions, poll responses and learning outcomes. Integrations include Sessionize CSV session import and a Microsoft PowerPoint add-in for showing live polls. The site presents it for conferences, workshops, training and virtual or hybrid events. A Freemium card lists 1 active session and 20 attendees, though other homepage copy advertises free use for up to 100 attendees.
