Live Polling FAQ's

Curiosity happens. We’ve answered our most frequently asked questions in one place.

Live polling is when you ask an audience a question and they respond from their own devices in real time, with the collective result appearing on a shared screen as votes come in. Unlike a static survey you complete alone, a live poll lets a group answer together — everyone votes at the same time, and the on-screen result becomes a focal point for discussion. Mentimeter's live poll maker is used for meetings, classrooms, training sessions, and live events.

Live polls do three things a typical meeting struggles with: they get input from everyone (not just the loudest voice), they surface honest opinions through anonymity, and they give the room something visual to discuss. Use them to check understanding, prioritise options, or break the pattern of one-person-talking-while-others-listen. A 30-second poll often changes the rest of the meeting.

Yes. Mentimeter polls work the same way whether your audience is in the room with you, joining a video call, or a mix of both. Participants join from any device using a code or link — no app to download, no account to create. The presenter sees results updating live regardless of where each participant is.

No. Participants join your poll with a six-digit code on their phone, tablet, or laptop — no Mentimeter account required, no app download, no sign-up step. They simply enter the code, answer the question, and see the result on screen. The only person who needs an account is the presenter creating the poll.

Yes. Mentimeter saves your poll results automatically, so you can review responses after the session ends, share them with attendees, or export them for further analysis. Results stay attached to your presentation in your Mentimeter account.

Most poll makers are built for asynchronous polls where you create a poll, share a link, and people answer over time on their own. Mentimeter is built for live polls that groups answer together: participants join from their devices using a code, vote in real time, and watch the result form on a shared screen as the poll runs. Other poll makers collect votes over hours or days; Mentimeter captures them in the moment.
