Mentimeter Accessibility Statement

We are continuously working to improve accessibility across Mentimeter and aim to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Accessibility is considered throughout our product development process—from early design decisions to development, testing, and ongoing improvements. While we have made meaningful progress, we know there is still work to do and are committed to learning and improving over time.

Accessibility is built into our design system and development process. We test our product using assistive technologies and work closely with user feedback to identify and prioritize improvements.

We also work to increase accessibility awareness across teams, so accessibility is a shared responsibility throughout the organization.

Mentimeter generally works with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies. However, some limitations still exist.

The accessibility experience may vary depending on the feature used and the assistive technology. We continuously test and improve these experiences as the product evolves.

Our objective is to ensure that Mentimeter is accessible to a wide range of users. While accessibility can be complex and varies across features and use cases, we are continuously refining and improving the experience to better support all users.

Below, we outline a list of known accessibility challenges that we continue to work on. These areas are part of our ongoing development efforts and help guide future improvements to the user experience.

It is not possible to use the Pin on Image feature with a screen reader or similar assistive technology. This interaction requires interpreting visual information at a detailed level to determine where to place a pin, and descriptions such as alt text alone are insufficient for this purpose.

Using the Quiz with a screen reader generally works well. However, challenges may arise in time-based quizzes, where users relying on assistive technologies may find it more difficult to respond quickly and maximize points.

For users with visual disabilities, we recommend using the Menti Light, Menti Dark, or Pistachio themes. These themes provide good contrast for text and visual elements, making it easier to read content and engage with diagrams and other visual information.

When navigating using a keyboard, the visual focus indicator—which shows which interactive element is currently in focus—may in some cases have a contrast ratio that is too low against the background color.

During live presentations, a significant portion of the information is often conveyed through the presenter’s voice. Clear speech and good sound quality are therefore essential for accessibility.

For users with impaired hearing, we recommend using features such as automatic subtitles available in many video conferencing platforms, as well as the built-in subtitle functionality on iOS and Android devices. These tools can significantly enhance accessibility and overall comprehension.

Live presentations often require maintaining a certain pace, especially when time is limited. However, time constraints can be challenging for users with cognitive and learning disabilities when responding to questions or providing input.

We recommend allowing sufficient time for all participants to engage with the presentation. While balancing timing can be challenging, being mindful of diverse needs helps ensure more inclusive participation.

All interactions and inputs—such as answering questions, providing reactions, and submitting questions to the presenter—are conducted through standard input methods. This allows people with speech disabilities to use Mentimeter without barriers related to spoken communication.

The product itself does not include elements designed to trigger photosensitive reactions. However, presenters can upload GIF images that may pose a risk.

To reduce the likelihood of triggering photosensitive reactions, we strongly recommend using GIFs with slow animations and avoiding flashing or rapidly changing visual effects.

Presenters play an important role in creating inclusive experiences. How a presentation is designed and delivered can significantly affect its accessibility.

We encourage presenters to consider accessibility when creating presentations—for example by using clear language, sufficient contrast, descriptive content, and allowing enough time for participants to engage.

For practical guidance and examples, see our article on Presenting with accessibility and inclusion in mind.

Mentimeter includes built-in tools to help presenters create more accessible presentations.

The Accessibility Check helps identify potential accessibility issues in your presentation and provides guidance on how to address them before presenting.

If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at

support@mentimeter.com. Your feedback is essential to our ongoing accessibility efforts.

Our commitment to accessibility remains ongoing. We will continue to release updates that address specific accessibility challenges, with the goal of continuously improving the user experience for people with disabilities.

The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is an industry-standard format for documenting how a product or service conforms to major ICT accessibility standards, including Section 508 (U.S.), EN 301 549 (EU), and WCAG.

Based on this framework, we aim to continue improving accessibility across our application wherever possible.
