What Votey is
Votey is a web-based audience engagement tool for live polls, word clouds, ratings, rankings, quizzes, and Q&A. Participants enter a room with a QR code or short code, without installing an app or creating an account. Hosts can add activities to presentations through slide integrations and a PowerPoint add-in. Quizzes are timed and scored with a leaderboard, while Q&A questions can be moderated and promoted by participant votes. The site states median response latency below 200ms end to end. The Free plan costs £free and allows one event monthly, unlimited rooms per event, and 25 participants per room, with branding and no exports. Pro costs ££19.99 a month, removes those limits and branding, and exports to PowerPoint, CSV, HTML, and PDF. HTML replays animations; PDF is static. Passwordless email codes protect host sign-in, and hosts must be at least 16.
