What PollsLive is
PollsLive is a web service for live polls, quizzes and Q&A, displaying responses to presenters in real time. Audience members can join through a link, QR code or six-digit PIN in a browser without an app download or account. Its question formats include multiple choice, quizzes, scales, rankings, Planning Poker, open-ended prompts, Q&A and content slides. Polls can run live or asynchronously, and the same poll can be shared to collect responses over time. Presenters can use PollsLive alongside PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Google Meet. Published polls can be embedded on websites or shared through services including WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack and Microsoft Teams. The free plan has three published polls, 500 responses per poll, three live participants and three live sessions per month, with one presenter. Pro costs $5 a month and allows 100 live participants. The application, database and cache run on EU infrastructure, with traffic encrypted in transit using TLS and HSTS.
