    Note: The information in the notes field of the slide must remain untouched. If this is deleted or altered in any way, the inserted content will not activate. You must also make sure that the Poll Everywhere application is open and running in the background, while you are presenting.

    The place holder slide for inserted web pages won’t display a preview, or image of the content inserted. The blue marks in the corners are all that matter so that the system knows where to display your webpage.

    You are now ready to present.
